Becoming an Effective Online Instructor (BEOI)

Mandatory training

Successful completion (80% or higher) of BEOI satisfies the Article 27 training requirement. Instructors who have taken training elsewhere can submit the Comparable Training Equivalency Form.

This 100% online course includes one synchronous hour per week (Mondays at 6 pm), plus ongoing asynchronous instruction and guidance over a 4-week period, with a fifth non-instructional week allowed for final submissions. Participants should expect to spend from 4 - 10 hours per week on BEOI instructional materials and assigned course-building activities, depending on their level of familiarity with online instruction. In addition to their enrollment in the instructional BEOI course shell, participants are issued an individual BEOI Practice Canvas shell where they will create their homepage and modules. The Practice shell can later be copied over to teaching class shells. Instructions on how to access BEOI and the Practice shell are included in the Welcome Letter and Syllabus, which are sent one week before the BEOI session start date.  Instructors are faculty co-facilitators from 4CD campuses.
