Poynter's News University values its partnership with thousands of teachers so we have created this "Tools for Educators" page. We have just launched our new Syllabus Exchange, a database of journalism, mass communication and other teaching resources. We are developing other resources, including ways we can test your students and an "All Access Pass" to our Webinars. If you want more information, please send an e-mail to info (at) newsu.org.
Syllabus Exchange
Poynter's News University introduces a new way for you to share teaching materials with your fellow educators. Syllabus Exchange lets you easily upload and download syllabi, assignments and other resources. Our goal is to build the largest database of journalism, mass communication and electronic media teaching materials.
Certificate Program
Assess your students’ understanding of essential journalism skills and best practices with the certificate program from Poynter’s NewsU. You conduct the teaching and coaching, and we provide the readings, activities and assessments. Use certificates as a way to evaluate students' skills or to supplement other teaching materials.
Training Points (Coming Soon)
Our new rewards program will let you earn training points every time you take a course, watch a Webinar or join in other e-learning at Poynter's NewsU. You can redeem your points for Webinars, software training, video tutorials and more. The more you learn, the more you earn.
