By completing WSU Online’s eLearning training and development path, you can prove your skills in effective and engaging course design. You’ll begin with our self-paced Canvas training and Intro to eLearning course, then complete a course design or redesign in our hands-on eLearning Certificate Program, and finally work one-on-one with an instructional designer to have your redesigned course fully vetted through a Best Practices Course Review. These steps will help you create an engaging and well-designed course for your students. Become a leader in online education with WSU Online!
