A growing number of SHSU students are taking online courses. Last academic year, over twenty percent of semester credit hours were delivered online by professors like you. In an effort to further promote the adoption of digital pedagogies in online courses, the Provost is requiring faculty certification for online teaching.
To support this prerequisite for teaching online, SHSU Online has developed a three-day Faculty Certification and Course Redesign program. The program, which is predicated upon peer-reviewed research in online teaching competencies and best practices in course design, will incorporate a hands-on approach, coupled with time for reflection, self-assessment, and one-on-one instructional design assistance.
Registration opens May 21. We encourage you to register on the Online Faculty Certification and Course Redesign Program page.

- Three-Day Workshop Cohort (lunch provided)
- Cohorts start in June 2018
