How to get online teaching experience

With so many people applying to schools for online teaching jobs, having some online teaching and course design experience can often keep your application upfront and center in recruiters' lists. The question is, how to do you get experience if you've never had an online teaching job?

It's easy, really. You write content about anything you know how to do, design a short course, and put it on an online course website. Not only can you showcase your teaching and design work, but you can make money teaching your course at the same time.

Some people may feel like this doesn't count as experience, but I assure you it does. First, you can share your course teaching and design methods by offering guest access and you can't do this with a course you teach for a school. Second, when I first started applying to teach online years ago, I got my first two jobs because I could showcase my own course design and teaching methods.

There are lots of websites where you can design and teach your own course. Check out my Pinterest Board "Teach Your Own Course Online" for a few to start with.
