eLearning Best Practices

• Start with what you already know. Don't try something new on the first day.

• Address student's social and emotional needs by having frequent check-ins and video chats.

• Reduce the workload by at least half

• Create opportunities for synchronous meetings

• Share instruction/teaching asynchronously

• Deadlines should be very flexible

• When possible, provide individual feedback to students

• Create as many offline opportunities as possible

• Provide very clear instructions.

• The instruction should be designed to allow students to be self sufficient learners.

• Parents are support not the teacher. You are the teacher.

• When designing instruction always remember that students’ schedules and environment are different from the regular classroom.

• Be aware of how you are dressed and what is behind you when using video chat or recording video
