Equivalency/Minimum qualifications based on the OEI Design Rubric

If you have received training at another school that you feel would be equivalent to our training, email jamey.cooper@vvc.edu the documents requested below.

Requested Documents:

  1. Please email any training certificates you have received that show evidence of your knowledge.
    • Include required training outline/syllabus/agendas that show hours of training and topics covered.
    • Certificates/Digital badges that show you completed the training.
  2. Provide a Canvas course you have taught in the last 3 yearsthat shows your ability to design according to the CVC-OEI Design Rubric. Below are 2 different ways you can provide this:
    • Upload a Canvas export (.imscc). Read these instructions if you don't know how to export a Canvas course.
    • Upload a IM体育试玩 Canvas sandbox url. If your course export is too large to upload directly to this form, you can create a sandbox in your IM体育试玩 Canvas and import the file from your computer. If you go this route, you just need to provide the url to your sandbox (we do not need to be added as teachers) so that we can look at it.

Questions about certification?

FAQs

  • Do I need to be DE certified to teach face-to-face classes? No, this is only if you want to teach an online course.
  • Can I apply for multiple training options at the same time? Sure! You are welcome to put yourself on our internal training list while our DE department evaluates your equivalency. However, we do NOT recommend taking our internal training at the same time as the Online Teaching and Design. They are each a LOT of work and we don't want you to burn out.
  • What happens if I'm denied equivalency? You will need to move to options 1 or 2. If you choose our internal training, you will be automatically given a spot in the cohort that works best for you.
  • How long does it take to process my equivalency? This is extremely individual. We may request further documentation or ask questions that can slow the process down. However, our goal is to get the equivalency done within 2 weeks.
