Overview

Course details

The Higher Education - College Teaching and Learning program at Walden University is designed for individuals who already serve as instructors in higher education environments, or those who possess the subject-matter credentials to teach in higher education, and who want to develop expertise in college teaching and learning.

The first three courses in this specialization address the major steps in the teaching and learning process: planning, developing and facilitating learning experiences, and assessment.

The fourth course expands on this process in addressing the special opportunities and challenges of online learning environments.

The core courses in the program provide foundational knowledge about higher education institutions, students, and programs that can help expert instructors ground their practice within the larger context of higher education and become teacher-leaders who can facilitate continuous improvement in their institutions.
