Trainees progress through the self-paced modules with guidance and feedback provided by SDCCD Online Learning Pathways' Instructional Designers.

For faculty at the SDCCD, this is an opportunity to not only learn the new tools and features for online instruction but also to be updated on the latest Distance Education State and Federal regulations.
