Teaching online and incorporating internet technology can be extremely rewarding: you can reach a greater variety of students, provide active students with more venues for interaction and give shy students opportunities to be heard. But teaching online, especially at the outset, can be daunting and frustrating as well. Both you and your students need to become comfortable navigating in a virtual environment, so that you can take the focus off the tools and bring it back to the business of teaching and learning.
These four week courses are designed to support and re-invigorate instructors who are teaching in an online environment. We’ll meet each week to problem solve logistic issues ( How do I make a group? What does the Gradebook look like?) and discuss best practices (How do I communicate my expectations about discussion? What activities align with my learning goals?).
