As a result, the importance of creating online learning environments that allow for interaction and collaboration is paramount. This course, intended for K-12 grade teachers, will enable participants to explore the ways in which online learning technologies can be used to enhance learning and to practice strategies for planning, facilitating, and assessing online learning.
