Endorsement Certificate Programs
Functional Course Design for All Modalities
The development of quality courses can be challenging. To meet the diverse needs of learners as well as the requirements of various modalities, instructors need a functional and flexible framework. They also need a manageable process for design. Through engagement with this learning experience, instructors will develop aligned, intentionally interactive, navigable, and accessible course templates, while examining the components of functionally focused course design and considering ways to incorporate these components into their own practice. Upon completion of this learning experience, instructors will receive a Functional Course Design Certification.
WMU In-Person HyFlex Workshops
Are you teaching a Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) course or curious about this modality?
