In this program, we go beyond learning a technology to how to effectively leverage technology to support engagement, facilitate learning, and to provide a more inclusive learning environment. Each course is self-paced and hosts a multitude of resources, examples and opportunities to apply your learning. Successfully demonstrating mastery of all track competencies will culminate in our Effective Teaching with Technology professional development track badge.

Apply Learning Science

In this self-paced course, we've organized content into four short, but very dense, modules. For each topic, you'll find a list of basic competencies, lesson content delivered through text, videos and images, several core resources, and additional resources for a deeper dive into each topic.

Module topics include:

Why is Learning science important?

What do you need to know about brain science?

What do you need to know about mind science?

How do I apply learning science to my programs?

 Effective Media Design

In this self-paced course, students will successfully demonstrate competencies that align with the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning by:

• defining multimedia,
• identifying three core assumptions of multimedia learning theory,
• identifying three types of cognitive processing/load,
• providing instructional design strategies for each of the three types of cognitive load,
• and describing Mayer's dual channel theory.

Technologies for Active, Engaged and Inclusive Learning

This self-paced training will begin by building your knowledge of the meaning and intent behind active learning, engaged students and inclusive teaching. From there, we'll introduce a broad range of principles and strategies applicable to online, blended and face-to-face programs. Lastly, we'll introduce technologies you can leverage to facilitate active learning, to engage students and incorporate inclusive teaching strategies into your programs.
