Teaching and Developing Online Courses

Training

We offer one on one training, and hands-on group workshops in multiple delivery formats. Whether you've been teaching online for years, or you are about to teach your first online course, we tailor our training to meet your specific needs.

To register for an upcoming workshop, visit the Training Calendar. For additional information about the training we offer, contact Shunta' Hailey @ 910-672-2522 or shailey1@uncfsu.edu, or James Heard @ 910-672-1195 or jheard@uncfsu.edu  or visit our Training Library to view PDF help sheets, and videos.

Online Instructor Certification

Our certification process allows online instructors to demonstrate appropriate levels of competency in developing and teaching hybrid, or online courses. Certification is comprised of two courses. Blackboard 101 covers the basics of using Blackboard; Blackboard 102 covers important issues related to online teaching pedagogy and course development. Once all coursework and exams are successfully completed, an instructor receives a certificate of completion.

Experienced instructors may opt-out of the coursework and simply complete the exams for both courses to become certified. 

For more information, contact Shunta' Hailey @ 910-672-2522 or shailey1@uncfsu.edu, or James Heard @ 910-672-1195 or jheard@uncfsu.edu

  • Opting Out Form: Complete this form if you wish to become certified and want to test out of the certification courses.

Quality Assurance

To ensure quality and integrity in new and existing online courses, we utilize two rubrics based on industry standards for best practices in online teaching and course development.

Deans, Department Chairs and individual faculty may contact Shunta' Hailey at 2522 or shailey1@uncfsu.edu to request to have a Quality Assurance Evaluation completed.

Exam Proctoring

UNC Academic Services Portal (ASP) is a web based, centralized database of approved proctors that facilitates the distribution and collection of exam materials for proctored exams, for online courses. It provides for automated exam distribution, automated reminder messages to students and enables professors to track student's scheduling activities.
