The idea of this training program emerged based on the actual need of the Program in Global Languages and Communication (GLC) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The main purpose of the program included offering the program's faculty the instruction in how to teach live (synchronous), self-paced (asynchronous), and blended (hybrid) online courses/programs in translation and interpreting. The program was also aimed at providing clear, simple guidance on how to teach interpreter/translator professional ethics, standards, protocols, practical interpreting skills, addressing communication barriers, and more in an online medium.
