Week's End Report - Feb. 19th

Tip of the Week!

Interested in teaching online classes? The certification process has changed!

If you have taken IVYC101 in the past, you are still certified to teach online. If you have not yet been certified there are now four steps in the process:

1. Successfully complete BBRD101 (must pass all activities with a 90% or better)
2. Sign up for IVYC110-SP, four self-paced modules (must pass all activities with a 90% or better)
3. After successfully completing IVYC110-SP you'll be placed into IVYC110-IL, two instructor-led modules (must pass all activities with a 90% or better)
4. Finally, after successfully completing the first three steps you'll be placed into IVYC112, Online Faculty Mentoring, the next semester during which you teach

Successful completion of the four step above will certify you to teach online at Ivy Tech. 

Contact us at laf-distance-ed@lists.ivytech.edu to sign up for IVYC110-SP!
