Session Description

Participants in this roundtable will engage in knowledge sharing and discussion about how to run successful online courses for educators in the iEARN network. Topics include, but are not limited to: structure, course content, technology tools and access, platforms, and course facilitation.  Presenters will facilitate the discussion and share their experience with online courses. We encourage attendance by teachers who have participated in an online course and those with experience running one. 

What will educators learn and be able to do at the end of the session?

The main goal of this session is to share knowledge and experience around online courses in hopes that iEARN online courses can be improved, initiated and expanded without our network.
