The Online Course Redesign and Faculty Certification Program has been in effect for three years at Sam Houston State University. In that time, we have been able to certify over 61% of our instructors to teach online! As SHSU Online’s certification efforts move forward, we will continue to adapt and grow the program to reflect the changing landscape (methodologies, technologies, global events) in the digital teaching space.
