Become Hybrid and Online Training (HOT) Certified

Instructors have the opportunity to become certified to teach online and hybrid courses at Wilmington University. To become certified, instructors must complete HOT. 

HOT is a 3 three week online course and is typically offered once a month. Please note that it is not a self-paced course, so instructors will need to complete the weekly assignments within the published timelines.  Instructors will complete assignments and submit them entirely online, which will then be evaluated by the HOT instructor. If you have any questions about the HOT (Hybrid Online Training) course, please email onlinemanager@wilmu.edu.

Pre-requisite Workshops

To become eligible to sign up for HOT, instructors must first complete two pre-requisite workshops:

  • Canvas Basic
  • Canvas Advanced

Instructors who need to complete these workshops can email edtech@wilmu.edu

Hardware Requirement

Faculty members taking HOT will need a headset microphone or internal laptop speakers to complete a week one activity. We recommend the Logitech H390 headset which can be purchased at Staples or Amazon.

HOT – Hybrid and Online Training Schedule

Please remember you can only sign-up for this training if you have completed the two pre-requisite workshops.
