The Center for Academic Excellence is pleased to offer and promote a variety of courses focused on teaching and learning with technologies for all delivery formats.
Agile Teaching Academy
The Appalachian Agile Teaching Academy is an asynchronous course aimed at helping faculty design a highly adaptable course utilizing online, hybrid, and f2f components. Faculty will think through important design considerations over the course of four modules and will explore questions such as:
- How can I design course components for maximum flexibility, regardless of teaching format?
- How can I organize my course for maximum student success?
- What is a good assignment and assessment structure for a flexible online course?
- How can I align instructional activities and assessments to learning goals to ensure my students are mastering important objectives?
- Am I making teaching choices that are inclusive of a wide range of student needs in a flexible environment?
