Online Education Certification Course


Preparing to teach online at the College of Charleston?

CETL Online Education (OE) & e-Learning is piloting a new model for preparing our faculty to teach online courses. The new OE Certification Course is a self-paced course - combined with the support of a peer faculty mentor - that allows the faculty to move through the course as quickly as you desire and as your schedule allows, with the caveat that you complete the course before you begin teaching your online course. Below are the deadlines for when the OE Certification Course should be completed relative to when you expect to first teach your online class.

Please note: You MUST complete the OE Certification Course PRIOR to teaching online for College of Charleston.
