To be DE Certified in the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ, a faculty member must successfully complete two moderated courses:

Description of both training below:
this is a 40-hour four-week moderated course This class focuses on how to use the Canvas tools to create accessible content. This multi-week course will introduce you to the beauties of using Canvas in online, hybrid, and face-to-face classes. These simple, hands-on lessons give you the chance to master Canvas in your own practice course to build a home page, content page, discussion, and quiz, while also exploring how to use Canvas communication tools.
This is the second course (IOTL) required to be DE-certified in the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ. This class focuses on online teaching policies and best practices and online course design.
