Part 2 Teaching Online – Introduction
A few days before the course starts, you will share your course with students so they can look around, read the welcome message and the syllabus, and hopefully start exploring the first module. Then the real fun begins! In online teaching, so much of the work of teaching is in the course design and building process.
So, during the term, what does it look like to teach online? These tasks typically include the following:
- Check into the interactive parts of your course consistently and in visible ways
- Respond to student emails within 24 hours
- Provide timely, focused feedback on student work
- Set limits on time you invest per day and per week, schedule online teaching activities in your calendar
- Meet with students individually or in small groups during office hours, or study sessions
- Keep notes and collect data about successes and growth areas in course design
