Course Description
The Online Teaching Institute (OTI) is one of the signature programs at the Temple University Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT).

The OTI is led by CAT instructors and takes place over a 3 week period, with an expected time commitment of about 5 hours per week. The course is offered in an asynchronous format, which means that there are no live meetings required.
