E-Learning for Educators
The E-Learning for Educators course was the first class I took in the certificate program, and it was a great introduction into the background and contemporary pedagogy of online learning. Being exposed to, and exploring new tools, such as Moodle, Scoop.it!, and Diigo opened my eyes to just how engaging and fun online learning and teaching could be. Click on "E-Learning Artifacts" (below) to read about some useful tools and how they can be implemented. Likewise, you can read my reflections during my first course by clicking the "Reflections" link to the left.
