environment go through a 4 week Online Instructor Training Program. It’s
actually an online course itself, hosted in Moodle. The faculty have several inquiry

practices in their online courses. Their assignments are evaluated by an online
instructor with a degree in online learning administration. All faculty are
required to complete the course prior to teaching online. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
