The members of the course will focus on how to teach with technology and develop lesson plans that engage learners both online and in person. The course is an annual event with many hands-on peer and individual practice. TESOL Online follows blended (hybrid) learning and blended online learning formats.

The course will take place on a Moodle site called Free Professional Development. You don't need to know how to Moodle to take the course. The system is very sophisticated.
