Introduction

You will be wearing both student and instructor hats in the Fall 2020 Online Teaching Institute (OTI). This week, you are going to engage in several activities that will orient you to the goals, structure, and assignments . As a student in this course, you engage in activities such as taking a quiz and introducing yourself to peers. As an instructor, you will begin exploring options for building your own online course.

We have organized and "chunked" the activities in this module into smaller sections so that you may complete them at your own pace. Don't feel that you have to complete everything at one time. The course is designed to be completed in order and the deadlines help progress you through the course. You may work ahead at your own pace.
