During the spiritual journey on which we embark, we may feel called to teach others, to share our knowledge, or to give back to the community. For this very reason, The Firefly Academy was founded.

We have only recently reached out for new instructors to broaden the knowledge base of our students. I would like

Let us give you a little background on our school and how it operates:

  • We have several hundred students from all over the globe.
  • The Firefly Academy opened in October of 2006.
  • We work on semesters. There are 8 weeks in a semester, and they have a predetermined start and finish date.
  • Enrollment for classes is not always open. There are open enrollment periods.
  • Classes must have at least 4 lessons, and not more than 11. 12 lessons or more should be broken up into 2 classes.
  • Students must have ample time to complete lessons and assignments. For example, though conference call and chat room lectures are permitted, all students must have access to this information if they cannot attend and it not count against them.
  • We use Moodle, which is an online interactive classroom. We do require that teachers teach courses through Moodle. We have materials to help you build your classes in our classroom.
  • Moodle includes tools to build forums, chat rooms, lessons, questionnaires, quizzes, text pages, html pages, glossaries, databases, and many other teaching tools.
  • Aside from the above requirements, teachers have free range over their classes.

  • We are working on building audio and video lessons for many of the classes. You are welcome to include these elements into your classes. And, if you have the equipment, we can help.
