Online Courses

Project ARC’s Online APLEs are self-paced, bite-sized, virtual learning experiences that provide personal, just-in-time feedback from a Project ARC facilitator and end with a fully developed APLE.

We offer a self-paced course that allows you to work at your own pace over a few weeks or a semester.

We also offer a cohort version of the course that allows several teachers to work to learn together.
