Catherine's Top 10 Online Teaching Tips
1) Add a timeline to your course
Make sure you sit down and outline your course to start. This will ensure that you are taking a natural progression in the flow of the class.
4) Keep it simple!
It is helpful to keep the course design simple and consistent so students know where to find information and the expectations of the instructor.
5) Stay on course
Keep the focus of the class discussions lively by participating in creative comunication, add emoticons or faciliate through questions .
6) Mentor
Try to find someone a colleague who will review your course, preferably someone with online teaching experience.
7) Feedback from students
Get feedback from students regarding the course design through a survey or quiz before the course ends. It might help to understand your students view of the course so you can improve the course.
8) Provide supplementary materials
Provide easy to read downloadable PDF print materials to go with your class.
9) Make it fun
Try to keep your course fun and engaging. Most people learn better when they are motivated to learn.
10) Be EXPLICIT!
Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean
Try not to make assumptions about a student's previous knowledge, without actual face to face interaction it is hard to tell.
2) Add resources or examples of concepts
Sometimes it helps for students to see examples of concepts, sometimes the opportunity to ask questions is missed in the discussion.
3) Predict possible questions that might arise
Perhaps include a FAQ list, try to compile a list of questions that students might have on a concept or course objective/project, in your questions provide some possible ideas/examples.
