Professional Learning for Educators
about our 2020 Empowered Educators cohort and what they found most valuable about participating in the Ontario Extend program.
Ontario Extend is a micro-credentialed professional learning program grounded in the belief that the impact of learning should be the primary motivator for creating technology-enabled and online learning experiences. It aims to empower educators to explore a range of emerging technologies and pedagogical practices for effective online and technology-enabled teaching and learning.
Extend explores key skills, knowledge, and attributes required to extend and transform our teaching and learning practices and to enrich our professional development. The program is designed to contribute to the digital fluency of educators and to support their decision making for the appropriate use of digital tools. The modules are designed to be self-paced or used as a customizable component of teaching and learning programs for educators within their institutions.
