To see what training opportunities are available and how they can be used within your work with students, teachers, and the community, visit the INFOhio Campus page: www.infohio.org/campus.

Learning Pathways

Learning Pathways are located within INFOhio Campus and provide options for self-paced or trainer led professional development with the opportunity to earn contact hours. Each pathway is made of classes targeting a specific educational topic or group with specific technical and instructional training related to the digital content and web tools INFOhio provides. Classes within each pathway can be viewed at any time, completed in any order, and offer the flexibility of increasing your professional knowledge collectively within the class or as resource to visit when a question arises. The About section contains information about the classes, a syllabus, and trainer guides for each class. Trainer materials for each class can be used to guide your own professional development. Digital badging is available for those who complete the entire pathway.

Using Learning Pathway Classes for Training 

Educators can use content from the classes in presentations or other types of training and development. A trainer guide for each class provides activities to engage adult learners. Find the trainer guide for each Learning Pathway class in the Exercise Files tab. It is also located in the Your Assignment lesson or Welcome to the Class lesson in each class. 

Presentations and trainings on INFOhio's digital resources and tools don't have to be created from the ground up. INFOhio Learning Pathway classes can be used to develop a presentation, complete with slides and learning activities. Using the class content and Trainer Guide, ICoaches can build professional development and training for specific audiences quickly and efficiently. 

This helpful  Planning Template will support you as you create your training or PD for adult learners. Click File, Make a copy to begin. The template is a workspace and planning tool, guiding you through steps to help you create the best PD for your audience. 

Be sure to look closely at these two charts in the template. They are designed to support you as you decide what content from the class you will include. The charts also encourage you to choose training acitivites from the trainer guide for application and relfection of learning.
