FREE TO ALL EDUCATORS!

The Master of Arts in Educational Technology Program at Michigan State University is honored to support the amazing work that educators are doing around the world as they transition to a range of remote teaching contexts. Our Mini-MOOC on Remote Teaching focuses on high-priority, digestible topics with the intent of applying them to practice tomorrow. Because educators are teaching across a range of remote teaching contexts, we include no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech strategies throughout the experience.

  • Unit 1: Norms, foundations, trauma-informed teaching
  • Unit 2: Teacher and student well-being, creating routines
  • Unit 3: Basic accessibility practices for text and media
  • Unit 4: Fair use, copyright, and Creative Commons
  • Unit 5: Communication, presence, and community-building
  • Unit 6: Learning experience design structures
  • Unit 7: Engagement and Universal Design for Learning
  • Unit 8: Assessment, feedback, and evaluation

The Mini-MOOC is a self-paced learning experience. Join this global, dynamic community to explore, create, and share today!

Professional Development (PD) Hours and Potential Credit Info

Because every region’s licensure and renewal program is different, we recommend reaching out to someone in your school or district who is a Professional Development (PD) provider or authorizer to see if your school or district will accept the Mini-MOOC experience as district-provided PD hours if your region does not already have guidance for PD experiences like this. We estimate that each unit takes about 2 hours to complete, for a total of 16 PD hours upon completion of the entire Mini-MOOC. A certificate of participation is available in Unit 8 to submit as proof of participation. If your school or district has any questions as they consider approving the Mini-MOOC for PD hours, we are happy to answer their questions at askmaet@msu.edu.
