SDCCD Online Learning Pathway Training
Canvas Transition Course
Available March 5, 2018 (Flex credit ends May 18, 2018) for SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Certified Online Faculty. Faculty may continue to take this course after May 18 through June 30 without Flex credit. Flex credit for 2018-2019 will be available beginning July 1, 2018.
This course is meant for faculty who have been certified through SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Online Faculty Certification Program. The Canvas Transition Course is an 8-hour course designed to help faculty develop their course in Canvas and reinforce good practice in online teaching using the Online Education Initiative Rubric. This course is not mandatory. Please contact Trenton Tidwell at ttidwell@sdccd.edu or Chris Rodgers at crodgers@sdccd.edu to enroll.
If you have been trained by one of our partners (@ONE, Grossmont, Cuyamaca, Southwestern, or Mira Costa), feel free to send Kats Gustafson at kgustafs@sdccd.edu a copy of your certificate and we will check your name off as trained (for our record-keeping purposes).
The Canvas Transition Course is not a certification course. Please see below.
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Online Faculty Certification Program (Blackboard-based)
The current Online Faculty Certification Program (Blackboard based) will end on
September 1, 2018 to accommodate faculty who wish to teach in the Fall 2018 in Blackboard. Flex credit for this program ends May 18, 2018 for 2017-2018. 2018-2019 Flex credit begins July 1, 2018. This program may take up to 20 hours to complete depending on your time and effort. This program may be required for an online teaching assignment. Please check with your VPI or Dean. Please contact Trenton Tidwell at ttidwell@sdccd.edu or Chris Rodgers at crodgers@sdccd.edu to enroll.
NOTE: Once you are certified under this program, you will not have to re-certify to teach in Canvas. However, it is strongly recommended to go through the Canvas Transition Course to help you develop your course in Canvas. If you have not been certified under this program and plan to teach in Spring 2019, please see below.
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Online Faculty Certification Program (Canvas-based)

This program may take up to 20 hours to complete depending on your time and effort. This program may be required for an online teaching assignment. Please check with your VPI or Dean.

Coming Soon: Canvas Institute
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways staff are currently developing the Canvas Institute beginning this summer and continuing throughout the year. Flex credit will be made available. The goal of the workshops is to give faculty further assistance in developing their course in Canvas (especially those who choose not to take the Canvas Transition Course).
Although we have not fully developed the format and agenda for the Canvas Institute as of this writing, we plan to use Zoom for the workshops. The Canvas Institute will be a series of workshops for beginner and intermediate level course development.
Coming Soon: Canvas Hands-On Workshops
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways staff are currently developing Canvas Hands-On Workshops to be held in the Fall 2018. The goal is to have one workshop held at each of the campuses and Continuing Education. Flex credit will be made available.
Grandfathered Faculty
The SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Online Faculty Certification Program was established in 2011. If you have been teaching online prior to that year, you may have been “grandfathered” in to teach online and “exempted” from getting certified or may have had WebCT training (please check with your VPI or Dean). If so, we recommend that you visit this Handbook for changes in Title 5, Ed Code, and ADA, Section 508 requirements.
