Kent State Online Design Build Teach

The Teach training pathway is centered around online learning and teaching pedagogy. Each course focuses on essential topics such as the instructor experience, the student experience, KSU resources, creating teaching presence, engagement, building community, communicating effectively, grading, and providing feedback. Along the way, we will discover tools in the Canvas learning management system (LMS) that will allow us to put pedagogy into practice, including Grades, the Speedgrader, Announcements, Inbox, and more. Finally, we will review what it takes to prepare your course for delivery by reviewing the Canvas Ready Checklist to help ensure you are on the road to success!
