Description

Teaching is a dynamic process, and great teachers use feedback and insights to monitor student learning and adjust teaching "in the moment." In addition, great teachers use feedback and data to continually improve their courses. 

In this 4-week course, you'll learn a variety of teaching and technology tools that allow you to reflect on your teaching, your course, and your students, that will allow you to build relationships that matter with your students. You'll focus on designing customized strategies for dynamic teaching that meets the needs of your current students, while also developing a process for continually improving your online course.
