| Certified Online Instructor > COI Designation |
| About the COI designation |
The Certified Online Instructor designation has been created to serve faculty in higher education
and others teaching online who want to gain recognition for their knowledge skills. The designation was created by a Faculty Advisory Committee working with outstanding experts in online learning engaged in writing and consulting on teaching online.
The designation is a voluntary program. It is not a license. It does not substitute for any other professional degree or program. COI recognition comes from the Learning Resources Network (LERN), an international education association. More than 6,000 faculty have taken online courses from LERN, making us the leading provider of online professional development for faculty in higher
education. |
| COI Program Requirements |
1. Completion of our three core online courses.
- Teaching Online, offered 3 or more times a year. To pass the course, you will need to
a) make one comment a day for five days;
b) take each daily self quiz, passing grade is 80% (you may retake the quiz until you pass).
- Designing Online Instruction, offered twice a year. To pass the course, you will need to
a) respond to discussion activities daily;
b) write a daily journal;
c) develop an abbreviated course plan.
- Building Learning Communities in Cyberspace, offered twice a year. To pass the course, you will need to
a) facilitate one day of discussion;
b) act as a key observer on an additional day of discussion;
c) write a daily journal and summary reflection.
2. Teach at least two online courses yourself.
Simply provide documentation that you have taught at least two online courses. Teaching the same course twice is acceptable. A brochure description, web site, internal list, or web access to the courses will suffice as documentation.
3. Pass a 50-question knowledge test.
The test is based on the critical knowledge areas covered in the three online courses. You may retake the test a second time if necessary. The test can be proctored locally or taken online using a proctor.
4. Have your students evaluate your online course.
You will be given a URL and a code. Your students do a two-question online evaluation anonymously. Student evaluations alone will not disqualify a teacher from COI designation.
5. Have your online course critiqued.
Simply provide us with the URL, username and password to access your course. The course can be critiqued before, during or after it is offered. |
