Great Online Graduate Courses
Enroll now for Summer 2013
Online teaching was the perfect part-time job for me. E-learning and online teaching replaced coaching and after school clubs as a way to supplement my income.
I loved it! I was working with great teachers from around the world and learning new things everyday. I also realized I was opening a door to a new career.
Eventually, after 25 years in a traditional classroom, I decided to take early retirement, and pursue my passion for online teaching and learning full time.
Courses begin January 2013

Here is UW-Stout's discussion etiquette guide. This was 'crowd sourced' via our online teaching staff and is regularly revised.
The Discussion Board is a vital part of communication in online learning. If all participants agree to follow a few principles of civility and professionalism, the discussion board can be a great opportunity to express opinions, share ideas, and receive feedback from peers who are engaged in the same learning objectives.
The practicum is the capstone experience for the E-Learning and Online Teaching Graduate Program. Participants reflect on their training, research and discuss e-learning issues, refine their e-portfolios, and participate in a mentored internship during which they teach online with a mentor instructor.
