Designing Meaningful Learning Online Certification
While completion of this certification is required for all faculty online course developers at Park, faculty designing and teaching courses in all modalities can benefit from exploring its principles and evidence-based practices. Through this certification experience, you will:
- Apply foundational instructional design concepts to plan your online course in ways that make sense for your discipline/course content (instructional design);
- Incorporate universal and inclusive design principles to ensure that your courses are accessible and engaging to a wide variety of learning; and
- Ensure active learning, high levels of interaction, and ownership of learning occur among students.
The self-paced modules are accompanied by a 'Guidebook' designed to help you apply the content to a course you might develop or perform maintenance on in the future. Submission of the guidebook signals completion of the certification and you will be issued a digital badge.
The Designing Meaningful Learning Online modules, listed below, are hosted in the FCI Instructor Hub (i-Hub) in Canvas (ENROLL HERE). For additional questions or comments related to the Designing Meaningful Learning Online modules, please email innovate@park.edu.
