Step 01

It’s always a best practice to review the basics of online learning and teaching in order to form a strong distance learning foundation. 

Did you know that the UHOIC has an interactive module that prepares you to teach online at UH? The Preparing to Teach Online at UH module covers the basics of online teaching and learning from the important policies you should be aware of to creating a course map for your online course!
