Starting out can be daunting. Often, we are confronted with rules and prescriptions that can help bring order and scaffolding to your teaching. These rules include guidelines for selecting resources, building learning activities, designing assessments and developing your syllabus. According to Sanghi (2006), in Driving Excellence, too many rules leads to diminished creativity and innovation.
In contrast, NYUSPS recognizes our faculty as industry leaders who can leverage their unique expertise and skills when teaching remotely in profound and unexpected ways. To support this transfer, NYUSPS offers our faculty a values-based culture for their teaching.

Malcolm Knowles (2012), in The Adult Learner, offers six principles for adult education, which provide values for instruction rather than prescriptive techniques. The following values are based on these principles.
What structure makes the most sense?
What should your students know/learn/be able to do once they complete each module?
How will you know if the desired learning has been achieved?
How can my students develop evidence of their mastery of course content?
How can we support our students during these times?

In remote instruction our reliance on in-person communication is absent. All of our communications whether through Zoom, Email, G-Chat or NYU Classes have one basic commonality; they are computer mediated. Computer mediated communications rely on steady attention.
