“I am designing a religious education
online class as my capstone project
in the Online Teaching and Learning
Certificate Program. I was recently
notified that a university not only
found it, but its administrators called
me for an interview! They told me that
they like my class setup and want to
consider online religious education in
the near future and want to keep me
in mind for a few positions upcoming,
including director of the religious
education program and this is all
due to my class! I am so excited for
this and I just love this Certificate
program!”

“I have found that this course was
helpful because it allowed us not only
to learn the useful principles but also
to actually facilitate an online learning
module both synchronously and
asynchronously. My professor created
a safe and secure environment for me
and my peers to learn how to teach
a real online class for the first time.
We all learned together and learning
was not only fundamental but fun. I
highly recommend for any instructor
who wants to enlarge their territory in
teaching.”
