Online Onboard
Instruction for designing and teaching online courses
Online Onboard supports AMS-affiliated teacher education programs in learning how to design and teach online courses.
We understand the value of being able to offer high-quality online education to adult learners. AMS is proud to provide teacher education programs with access to Canvas, a learning management system for online classes. We also offer a variety of educational opportunities to learn how to design and teach online and to learn how to use Canvas.
Registration is closed for the Spring Cohort. Stay tuned for new dates!
For information about Canvas, to have a Canvas sub-account for your TEP, or for questions about our learning opportunities contact our professional development team at PD@amshq.org.
For Instructors
Intro to Designing Online Classes
This online class outlines key elements of course design for TEP instructors. It balances an understanding of the pedagogy of online learning with practical applications in Canvas, our learning management system. Weekly assignments and activities will guide you through the process of designing an online class of your choice. You will end the class with a course plan and an understanding of introductory-level Canvas tools to consider as you develop your Canvas course. This primarily asynchronous class is cohort-based, so learners move through the class together week by week and engage in shared online discussion.
