This is where our ITEC program may be instrumental in training teachers to become adept at offering quality online learning in the K-12 setting,” said Erin Shaw, UCA ITEC program coordinator. The program consists of the following courses: Universal Design for Learning; Online Education Course Design, Delivery, Implementation; Online Teaching and Instructional Strategies; Supporting Student Success in Online Teaching; and Design and Production of Media Resources for Online Courses. #LHWolfNation
