We get it. . . Online teaching can be challenging, but it can also be really rewarding!
Trent University uses the Blackboard learning platform to deliver our online Additional Qualification courses. In order to be an effective instructor, you must be comfortable with technology and online teaching. Instructors need to be able to work independently and as part of a team. Our course instructors are professionals in the field of education teaching teachers, so it is important that you broach your subject with enthusiasm. Teachers have high standards for themselves, so as an instructor of teachers, expectations are high!
