Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.

Discover practical ways to deliver online education and support your students.


Since the initial COVID-19 lockdown, many of you have been asked to move your teaching online and even now, online learning continues to play a key role in education.
This three-week course will show you useful techniques to adapt face-to-face teaching to online lessons so that your students can get the most out of their learning experience.
You’ll learn practical approaches to help you quickly move your teaching online, overcome the hurdles presented by digital education, and embrace the opportunities that come with online learning.


Learn how to create a lesson plan for eLearning


You’ll discuss the challenges of online teaching to understand how to modify your lessons and prepare your students for success.
You’ll learn how to create effective lesson plans for online teaching and think about learning design. You’ll also have access to insightful resources, including answers to popular questions about teaching online.


Explore techniques to help you engage your students


Discover how to build a strong online community by connecting with others, and learn how to create engagement through interaction. You’ll find out how to balance online learning with offline, asynchronous learning.
Hearing from students about their online learning experiences, you’ll understand how to select and design different approaches to engage students and create an effective student learning environment.


Check progress and provide feedback


Checking student progress and giving useful feedback is very different in an online context, so it’s important to learn the best methods to ensure your students know how to improve.
You’ll learn what makes for effective assessments and feedback to create a collaborative experience for you and your students.


This course is designed for educators, teachers, lecturers, and trainers who have to rapidly move from face-to-face to online teaching who are under time constraints.
