TIC Career Program

TUi Instructors Career Program Information for Potential Students

TUi is proud to introduce our Instructors Career Program. This program was designed by master educators to help any resident learn the skills necessary to teach in SL.

All prospective TUi teachers are expected to complete the TUi Instructor Career Course, however the course is for anyone interested in teaching in SL.

This program consists of six classes and a final "expo" in which you will teach a class you've created during the program. Classes are two hours long, taught once a week.

Participants are required to complete the homework for each session in order to complete the course. Homework assignments help you build your classes and interact with classmates to brainstorm and provide feedback for one another. Homework normally takes 2-3 hours a week.

By the end of the 7 weeks, you will have developed one short (5 minutes) and at least one long (1 hour) course on a topic of your choice.
