Welcome to Preparing to Teach Online (PTO)!
The PTO modules were developed by the COPH Office of Educational Technology and Assessment (ETA) to provide online course instructors with an overview of technical, philosophical and theoretical approaches to online teaching and instructional design process. These modules offer a series of activities that not only provides instruction, but also hands-on activities that will guide you through the instructional design process and how to design online course materials.
The purpose of these training modules is to familiarize you with:
1. The Blackboard course management interface,
2. Introduce you to learning theories and
3. Assist you to develop your online course design.
Let us begin with a basic question:
Have you ever wondered how students learn?
Understanding this cognitive process will not only help you teach better
but also design an optimal learning experience for your students.
