Over the past year, many college teachers have been forced to move some or all of their course content online. Though many hope to return to face-to-face teaching soon, there are principles of online instruction that can benefit any teacher and any class. In this podcast, Janine Gilbert, an English faculty member with over fifteen years' experience designing, teaching, and facilitating online instruction, shares some of her best ideas for making online instruction effective. She gives practical advice for overall structure and pacing, creating meaningful assignments, managing grading, and connecting with students. If you have any part of your course available online, this podcast is worth twenty minutes of your day!
