Testimonial

"I undertook the OLC Teaching Certification during which I palpably grew. I felt it helped me design not only my online course but also to improve my face-to-face courses. I learned to clearly see the link between Learning Objectives - Learning Activities and Assessments. I followed this up a year later with the Advanced Teaching Certification since I had now developed and run my first online course. I was ready to improve it. I learned about increasing student engagement and interactivity in this course and learned to improve the accessibility of my course. I think it is a much better course now and I am proud of it. Thank you OLC instructors!"
