Things to Keep in Mind

  • Online learning can be so much more than just a replacement or substitution for in-class learning. Consider ways that online learning can enhance or redefine the traditional learning experience.

  • Be flexible with your timing. The students will need time to adjust & acclimate to this shift; there will be a learning curve involved for all stakeholders.

  • Have a reasonable expectations for what students have time to complete outside of the classroom. Focus more on what it will take to meet the intended outcome and not on finding 50+ minutes worth of "stuff".

  • Know that you are not alone! Please reach out for ideas, construction assistance, testing, and/or reflection.
