Effective Practices in Teaching Online (EPTO) is a 30 hr. cohort-based online course which investigates how pedagogy and classroom management changes in
the online learning environment. Learn 50+ research-based effective online strategies
to keep students motivated. This course is designed for instructors who have not yet
completed online certification. Completing the course will meet part of the CCRI eligibility
requirements for teaching online.
EPTO introduces participants to the federal, state and local regulations for online
learning, as well as regulations for NC-SARA and NECHE. EPTO also will introduce you
to the OSCQR rubric which we use to monitor online course design quality.
