During these times and through the future, our most successful educators will be dual-modal, mastering instruction both in-person and online. Recently edX produced a free course entitled How to Learn Online taught by our VP of Learning, Dr. Nina Huntemann. This course offers learners proven best practices to optimizing their learning experiences online and also provides great insights to online educators into the learning process of their students. edX is also producing an introductory course on teaching online as well as a free webinar series for educators seeking best practices on teaching online. The first installment of this webinar series already has 1,000 registrations. The edX platform offers the following courses: Pivoting to Online Teaching (University of Texas) and Foundations for Excellence in Teaching Online (ASU). With each of these courses, edX has the ability to help empower and skill teachers during this pandemic and beyond.
