Is there an online teaching degree that specializes, specifically, in preparing people to teach online?
Yes, there are degrees and certification programs that prepare teachers to teach in this delivery format. They are often called “online instructor” programs. Other terms to look for will be “instructional technology” or “technology in education.” The best degrees for teaching online are those that provide instruction in effective online communication, how to develop effective learning opportunities, how to use all the available technological tools, and how to design activities that appeal to all types of learning styles in both synchronous and asynchronous formats.
