Instructional teams are composed of international and well-known researchers and scholars within the field of TEL and online and distance learning. Your instructors are faculty members at prominent institutions of higher education and distance learning, as well as of professional organizations, around the world.

You want a programme that is not only international and multidisciplinary, but also one that has the flexibility for you to study part-time. The fully online certificate programme is accessible over the internet, and the C3LLO App for Android and iOS offers full mobile access, thus giving you the ability to access class anytime and anywhere.

In the CAS programme, you will be challenged to critically analyze the concepts and issues you encounter in their readings, relating and applying these to your own professional experiences. Course learning activities resemble real-world contexts as much as possible, so that you can apply your newly acquired knowledge and skills in practical and authentic situations.

A constructivist pedagogy is central to our instructional approach and takes into consideration the specific needs of adult learners: flexibility, accessibility, and the ability to formulate own learning goals and objectives. Self-directed, self-regulated, and self-determined learning approaches give you freedom of choice in exploring research topics and allow you to draw on your individual knowledge, experience, and interests.

You will realize new competencies and skills through a balanced combination of programme curriculum, learning activities, and practitioner experience contributed by the instructional teams, visiting experts, and fellow students. Your instructors create continuous connections between course topics and actual practice in the workplace, while course discussions and assignments establish the links between theoretical foundations and the real-world practice of ODL professionals. What you learn in the classroom today, you can apply in your professional context tomorrow.

Our instructors and visiting experts serve on a variety of editorial and advisory boards of international scholarly journals within the fields of educational technology, open educational resources, and ODL – thus connecting you to a global network of professionals, scholars, and researchers.

C3L offers personalised support in order to ensure your success while a student in the online OTL programme. Instructional teams include dedicated mentors who provide ongoing support students throughout the semester, and the program director is available to answer your questions and provide you with professional guidance as needed.
