Facilitating Online Learning

Designing and preparing to facilitate learning online requires more than knowledge of the software being used to deliver the course and more than knowing how to handle e-mails and attachments. Click on these presentations and documents for more information. If you'd like a guided experience as you prepare to go online for the first time, please enroll in FVTC's Internet Qualification Series by contacting Shannon Helms, helms@fvtc.edu. (Note that for out-of-district participants, there is a fee for the course.)
