Announcing the New
Advanced Certificate Program in Online Teaching and Learning
The California State University, East Bay's New Advanced Certificate in Online Teaching and
Learning (OTL) meets the needs of university and college faculty, K-12 teachers, corporate and military trainers,
educational administrators, curriculum designers, technical support staff and others who design, implement and teach online
courses who have completed the basic OTL certificate program.
The program's online-only format makes it convenient for anyone in the world, not just those who live or work
in the San Francisco East Bay Area. Students can look forward to a hands-on, rigorous curriculum in which both the instructors
and fellow students provide detailed feedback on every project and should expect to spend 10-12 hours or more per week on
each class. They can communicate with their instructors and advisors in a variety of ways: email, telephone, chat room office
hours and/or videoconference. A high-speed Internet connection is strongly recommended.
Program Objectives
- To give graduates a deeper understanding and knowledge
of the pedagogy of online teaching and learning.
