Rhombus Learning partnered with Faculty Fellows from the UNC System Digital Learning Initiative and PBS North Carolina to lead the design and development of Designing Effective Online Courses—a comprehensive 20-hour workshop created for the UNC System. This workshop was specifically designed to equip faculty and staff across North Carolina with the skills and strategies needed to effectively transition to online teaching.
Grounded in best practices for digital pedagogy and course design, the workshop has been successfully delivered to thousands of educators statewide. It serves as a foundational resource for building high-quality, student-centered online learning experiences.
The video below, produced by the UNC System, offers an overview of the course and its impact.
