PBS TeacherLine Rolls Out 'Mastering the Skills of Online Teaching' - Dave Nagel, THE Journal
PBS TeacherLine has launched a new course to train educators to work in virtual learning environments. The new course, "Online Facilitator Training I: Mastering the Skills of Online Teaching," is slated to roll out this spring. PBS TeacherLine is an online resource that offers professional development services and other resources for teachers in K-12 and higher education. The new Online Facilitator Training I course is designed for educators in both higher ed and K-12 environments. "Unlike face to face instruction, online learning requires a different skill set and pedagogical approach to guide participants through a course and build a collaborative online learning community," said Mary Kadera, PBS vice president of education, in a prepared statement. "Through the expertise we've gained over several years of training online facilitators for PBS TeacherLine courses, we were able to develop a high-quality, research-based course for all teachers who wish to lead any type of Web-based course."
