Are you a faculty member who will be teaching online for the first time? Do you have faculty that will be teaching online for the first time? Do you have new hires who will be teaching online?
Successful completion of the Teaching Online Certification Course (TOCC) 5-week, online course certifies the individual to teach online at Cal U and supports our compliance with Middle States' Accreditation distance learning requirements (Standard 13) and university policy. University policy states that any faculty member who will be teaching an online course for the first time at California University must successfully complete the PASSHE/Cal U five-week comprehensive online course.
The Teaching Online Certification Course (using the Brightspace by D2L LMS) has been developed collaboratively among Bloomsburg, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Kutztown universities.
Seating for the course may be limited – only CALU faculty may participate and preference is given to those faculty members who are not already certified to teach online.
Note: The course is fully online and will be delivered on Kutztown's D2L portal this semester. It consists of weekly discussion posts, due dates, and course development activities. The first three weeks of the course require timely interaction. The final two weeks are self-paced but must be completed within that two week period.
