"The advice I received and the skills I learned while completing the E-Learning and Online Teaching courses have been invaluable. I am a nursing instructor and have been able to tap into the wisdom of instructors and fellow students from a wide variety of backgrounds and places to improve my courses.

With the pandemic changes, I find myself applying what I have learned almost daily. Thank you, UW-Stout, for this course!"

Our Students Say ...

This course was relevant and well organized. I'm looking forward to continuing in the certificate program.

The instructor provided remarkable timely and professional feedback about my interaction and progress in the course.  I felt encouraged and supported the whole way through.

She is an excellent example of an online educator, and I will take this experience and attempt to mirror it in my future teaching.

Her style of using YouTube videos for visual instruction was very helpful.
