The start of school is just around the corner for many students. Education and classrooms may look different this year during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online education is a viable option for quality learning experiences. Below is a list of three best practices for those who are teaching online this year:
- Engagement: Create opportunities for collaboration. Utilize discussion boards, group work and learning technology that allows for students to interact with peers.
- Communication: Provide clear expectations and instructions to reduce confusion. Reach out to individual students to check for understanding, clarify misconceptions and provide feedback.
- Instructor Presence: Connect with students by posting a welcome video, giving timely feedback and hosting virtual office hours.
