The School of Advanced Studies of the Kibbutzim College of Education is 
offering the diploma course Certified Online Instructor (COI) in the 
2009-2010 academic year. The course is ideal for English teachers wishing to 
integrate ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and online 
learning in their classes. The course is also targeted at school principals, 
counselors, and teacher trainers.

The full diploma course is comprised of five individual courses, which award 
a 180-hour "gmul hishtalmut," ideal for teachers in their Sabbatical year. 
It is also possible to register for any one of the courses separately and/or 
to spread the courses over one or more years (see note below).

The lessons are delivered via distance learning by a group of lecturers who 
are experts in the field. Studying from the comfort of your own computer at 
home allows flexible time management while enabling you to experience 
distance learning first-hand! Given the emphasis on flexibility that 
characterizes the world of online learning, we also tailor course 
requirements to fit individual needs. This means that each participant is 
encouraged to define course projects to fit a specific teaching context, and 
that participants preferring to study in English may submit work in English.

Course Specification
-  Online learning: from course planning and development to assessment (60 
hrs)
-  Technology-rich learning environments: integrating blogs, wikis, 
multimedia, and "Second Life" in teaching and learning (30 hrs)
-  Theories of learning and online instruction (30 hrs)
-  Synchronous online teaching: theory and practice (30 hrs)
-  Issues in digital culture and values in the digital age (30 hrs)

Note
You may register for any one of the above courses separately or in any 
combination of your choice (for example, one course in the first year, 
another two the following year, etc.). The diploma Certified Online 
Instructor (COI) is granted on completion of all five courses. Although a 
teacher on Sabbatical can take all the courses in one year, teachers and 
counselors who are working and studying at the same time (typical of today's 
"lifelong learner" population) can complete the diploma requirements over a 
number of years.
