License Renewal - Course Options

Coursework Available for License Renewal
Purdue Calumet allows educators currently holding a valid Indiana Teacher's License (at present, those holding limited licenses cannot renew in the same manner) to acquire needed academic credits in several different ways:

Develop and teach a 15-hour, project-based workshop or instructional session for other teachers or administrator at your own school district (Pass/No Pass Option);
Take a one credit-hour, online or person-to-person learning module on a technology topic approved by Graduate Studies faculty;
Take a three credit-hour, semester long course in Instructional Technology and Design (or other areas) online or in the traditional classroom with qualified, friendly, and helpful Graduate Studies faculty.

Students wishing to learn more about teaching, learning, technology, and other topics can take short modules that worth 1 to 3 hours of graduate credit. Each hour of credit is equal to about 15 clock hours of work, and every semester we offer over 50 different classes, giving you many options to choose from, including distance learning, hybrid, and intensive workshop-based courses. The modules we offer are typically offered on a Pass/No Pass basis, and do not qualify toward credit for any Purdue Calumet graduate degree.

Assignments and requirements for course completion are choden by the student and the instructo. For example, if you wish to learn more about designing Web pages or development lesson plans with concept-mapping programs, you and your instructor can work together to plan assignments that will help you meet your goals.
