Abstract

The Open University of Israel offers a program of study for Computer Science graduates towards a high school Teaching Certificate in Computer Science. The program is unique in that it enables studying towards the certificate in a distance learning environment and therefore can be pursued by people who wish to combine further education with careers and personal responsibilities. In this paper we describe the Teaching Certificate Program which provides an opportunity for Computer Science graduates to pursue an educational career. Particularly we describe the course 'Methodology of Computer Science Teaching' which utilizes multi-media technologies expressly developed for distance learning. In addition we present some statistics regarding the program, such as: The number of students enrolled in the program, age and gender distribution.
