Interested in teaching online? Free courses are available!

Funding from Blackboard savings is providing an opportunity for faculty to take two @ONE courses for free or be reimbursed upon completion.

In the past year or so, @ONE revamped their certification for online teaching to condense it into a single course that lasts 12 weeks called Online Education Standards & Practices (OESP). Contact Jodi Reed before enrolling in this course to arrange for tuition reimbursement upon successful completion of the course. This course fulfills recommended preparation for teaching online at Cuyamaca College and is strongly recommended for faculty who plan to teach online.

We also received coupons for faculty to attend @ONE's Introduction to Teaching with Canvas course for free. Contact Rhonda Bauerlein through campus email for the coupon code.

New OESP and Canvas courses are starting at the end of February. Find out more on the @ONE website. At this time, we are only recommending (and providing tuition breaks) for the two courses mentioned above from @ONE. The other courses @ONE offers are being phased out this year.

You can also take the Cuyamaca College Teaching with Canvas course for FREE! Train 4 departs February 27. Sign up now!
