We are the Program for Online Teaching, a group of volunteer faculty helping other faculty teach better online.

Our focus is on pedagogy as the guiding force for using technologies for teaching.

Many of us are from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, California. MiraCostans may access the Teaching/Technology Innovations Center for technical help, resources, news and more.

We hear you! Requests:

2. online videos that could be accessed later. I would love to attend some of the workshops but have commitments at the same time. – We record many of our workshops and events, and they can be accessed here on this site. We will also be offering more recorded presentations and conversations during spring, and post them here.
