About the Course

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments....

This is an excellent introduction to Online teaching, especially for someone who would like to transit from face to face teaching to online environment. There are loads of case study examples and external resources, to the point of posing a problem of plenty! The most valuable aspect is that the personalized recommendations to address your improvement areas - as diagnosed from your responses to the ungraded activities.

The course was not easy, it involved a lot of work and referencing but it was so interesting! It took me step by step through the process of getting familiar with online technologies and tools. The periodic feedback was so helpful. As I am a senior consultant, not much accustomed to online teaching-learning till now, it was a great experience to take this course and today feel more confident about teaching online.

I have really enjoyed how detailed this course is. It does provide the teacher nearly all the websites and tools that may be necessary for online courses. Videos does also describe all the issues briefly and doesn't leave any question mark about what to conduct, why or how to do it. I also enjoyed how this course encouraged learners to engage with each other. I will definitely tell my colleagues about it.

This is an excellent course and the lecturers are very engaging when presenting the material. This is one of the best courses which I have done on Coursera and I would recommend other courses to take on a similar format. I like the way the material is presented, it is almost like a dialogue and therefore very engaging. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Really great information provided. I didn't 'love' the external reflection tools. I didn't mind reflecting on what I know/don't know...but I get overwhelmed by the number of suggestions recommended. That being said, I thought the nature of the lectures and case studies was super well done and I walked away with lots of great ideas and confirmation. Thank you!

This courseis very important to teaching online as the online teaching increased because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, allinstitutions of learning have adopted blended learning and teaching. I n my view, going back to physical learning completely may not occur in higher institutions of learning.

Excellent course. The course ensures that you think beyond the technology and it's application and think about the curriculum design which underlies it. Real examples are provided in the form of videos. An evidence based approach is used and the assignments can be applied to your own applications.
