Participants who successfully complete the micro-credential will receive:
- Digital Badge Recognizing Their Demonstrated Skills
The digital badge has been evaluated and may be applied toward the M.S. in Administration of Online Education degree program at Granite State College. - One-time Direct Stipend
To encourage teachers to participate during the summer session, the Department of Education will provide a $200 stipend.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there a cost for participants to register?
This training is being offered as a free course and does not require a registration or course fee.
What will I learn?
The online program will model the key components of a successful online PK-12 virtual classroom. Participants will have first-hand experience with effective techniques for online instruction related to overall structure and organization, clarity and flow, and terminology. The virtual professional learning community, of which all participants will be engaged, will provide a source of support and connection to all micro-credential participants that will continue to be accessible beyond the micro-credential.
How long is the program? How many hours per week/CEUs/credits is the course?
The micro-credential consists of five modules, delivered over the course of five weeks but may be completed asynchronously, providing teachers with flexibility.
The course is an estimated 22 hours per week (112.5 total contact hours). The course is equivalent to 12 CEUs.

How many total credits are required to complete the graduate certificate in Administration of Online Programs and how much does it cost?
This program includes 12 courses. Each course is 1-3 credits for a total of 18 credits required to earn the certificate. Graduate tuition is $545 per credit hour in-state and $595 out-of-state.
What is the structure of the course?
The course is five online modules, each to be completed weekly. The work in the modules is asynchronous and does not require specific meeting dates or times. These are collaborative sections, and you'll be discussing topics with other educators, but you'll be doing so on your own time (based on the established weekly deadlines). The coursework culminates in the creation of two self-selected projects during weeks 4 and 5 for application in online instruction relevant to each participant's grade level and content area. Ongoing communication with the course instructor will guide participants through the course assignments.
