Teaching and Learning Resources

Metacourse for online (and all other) instruction

This 90-minute course was created by Academy members Jeff Helmer and Bob Duke to address principles of online teaching that are broadly applicable across the university curriculum.

Enroll in the 90-minute, complete metacourse that will guide you through the process of developing effective learning experiences for your students. The brief course serves as a model for online instruction that you will experience from the perspective of a student as you build your own course module. Click here to enroll in the metacourse.
