Courses for Faculty

We provide free courses for all Pima faculty - including face-to-face, hybrid, and online instructors at Pima Community College. These short, 4-week and 5-week courses are designed to expand your online pedagogy and course design skills using D2L Brightspace and third-party tools.

All faculty who anticipate teaching a pre-designed, D2l Brightspace course (i.e. course "masters") are strongly encouraged to complete our introductory course, TE125 TEACH: Introduction to Online Pedagogy. For advanced courses in online design and teaching, please view the offerings below.

TE125 TEACH: Introduction to Online Pedagogy

This course is designed for faculty teaching from a predesigned course (what has previously been called a "course master"). Learn more.

TE150 BUILD: Introduction to Instructional Design

This course is designed to help faculty learn how to build courses from scratch through D2L Brightspace. Learn more

Throughout the year, PimaOnline offers a broad variety of intermediate and advanced faculty development courses to support your continued professional growth. To learn more, visit our LEAD Online Pedagogy Courses, PimaOnline FY21-FY22 playlist at MyCareerCenter via MyPima.
