Online Courses: Fall 2024
The Reinert Center supports instructors for the full continuum of teaching online including: preparing to teach online for the first time, online course design, assessment of online courses, as well as strategies and techniques for effective online teaching. Below is our current list of full, online course offerings. These courses can be used for credit in our Online University Teaching Skills Certificate or they may be taken by individuals not enrolled in the certificate.
The Introduction to Distance Teaching is a fully-online asynchronous course that provides a pedagogical foundation for 91制片厂直播 faculty who are new to the online teaching environment. The course provides faculty an opportunity to gain the experience of an online 鈥渟tudent鈥 and to experience a fully-online course that has been designed to align with the University鈥檚 Online Course Design Rubric while developing a plan for an online course.
This one-week, asynchronous course focuses on generative AI in distance learning environments. Participants will interrogate design constraints/opportunities associated with generative AI in online course design, and articulate generative AI use guidelines for assignments and other online coursework. Course activities will serve as a means of enabling participants to think intentionally about the use of generative AI to augment teaching and provide meaningful student learning opportunities from a distance.

Fall Praxis Workshops
At its most basic meaning, praxis is the combination of theory and practice. As we delve into educational literature, we find a deeper meaning that combines reflection and action. And, as we then connect with Ignatian pedagogy, praxis is the intersection of experience, reflection, and action in teaching and learning contexts. Praxis workshops are a required component of our Foundations and Principles certificates, but are open to all SLU community members.
