Bridging the Gap: F2F to Online Teaching Skills

Many instructors skilled at teaching face-to-face classes are hesitant to teach or develop an online class because they feel it’s so different from in-person instruction. Others worry that their specific subject area can’t be taught online. With guidance and encouragement, these same instructors can become excellent online facilitators by realizing how specific face-to-face practices and skill sets easily translate to the virtual classroom.

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn to create meaningful discussion board interactions and provide relevant and timely announcements.
• Gain strategies for crafting supportive feedback when grading.
• Realize the range of opportunities and creativity online teaching has to offer.
