What is an online course?

Online courses are educational programs delivered over the internet that allow students to learn new skills or gain knowledge in various subjects from anywhere at their own pace. They can include video lectures, readings, assignments, quizzes, and interactive forums. Online courses are offered by universities, colleges, and independent platforms, making education more accessible and flexible for learners worldwide.

What are some common challenges faced by instructors when managing an online course, and how can they be addressed?

One of the main challenges instructors face when managing an online course is keeping students engaged and motivated in a virtual environment. Without in-person interaction, it can be harder to gauge student understanding and foster participation. To address this, instructors often use interactive tools like discussion boards, live Q&A sessions, and multimedia content to maintain engagement. Regular feedback and clear communication also play a key role in supporting student success and building a sense of online community.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an online course instructor, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Online Course Instructor, you need expertise in your subject area, a relevant educational background, and experience in curriculum development or teaching. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS) like Canvas or Moodle, as well as tools for video conferencing and content creation, is typically required. Strong communication, adaptability, and digital engagement skills help instructors connect with and motivate remote learners. These competencies ensure effective knowledge transfer, student engagement, and course success in an online education environment.

Job Description/Duties
Curious what makes an online course actually work well for students? Interested in figuring out what helps people stay engaged, motivated, and successful when they're learning outside a traditional classroom? If you're into education, communication, instructional design, digital media, accessibility, or online learning, this internship is for you.
As part of SUNY Cortland's Online Readiness Program, the Online Education Intern will work with the Senior Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning to design student-facing resources that support success in online courses.
You'll receive training in basic instructional design principles, online education best practices, and student-centered resource development. You'll help the CTL better understand what students need to feel prepared for online learning, and use that research to create practical resources for the campus community.
Responsibilities may include:
1. Participate in training related to instructional design, online education, student success, and accessibility.
2. Gather student perspectives through surveys, interviews, or informal feedback about what helps students succeed in online courses.
3. Review online education resources for students from other SUNY institutions and identify models that could inform SUNY Cortland's approach.
4. Work with the Senior Director to develop student-facing materials for the Online Learning website, such as short videos, web content, checklists, guides, or frequently asked questions.
5. Collaborate with CTL staff and other interns to share and promote completed resources.
By the end of the internship, you'll be able to conduct a basic needs assessment, evaluate educational resources for usability and relevance, apply instructional design principles to student-facing materials, and produce digital resources that support student success in online learning environments.
