What is the Empowered Educator program?

Empowered Educator is a micro-credentialed professional learning program grounded in the belief that the impact of learning should be the primary motivator for creating technology-enabled and online learning experiences. It aims to empower educators to explore a range of emerging technologies and pedagogical practices for effective online and technology-enabled teaching and learning. 

The Empowered Educator program is designed to:

• • explore key skills and knowledge to extend and transform our teaching and learning

• • contribute to the digital fluency of educators

• • support digital tool selection using evidence-based research

The Empowered Educator program is a key component of the eCampusOntario Strategic Plan, 2021-24: Digital by Design that supports rich, equitable, inclusive and flexible digital educational experiences in collaboration with our member institutions.
