Resources for Teaching Online
The following list of resources should be useful to instructors who are setting up an online course for the first time or for those who'd like a refresher and/or some additional pedagogical strategies.
Resources to Help Your Transition to Online Instruction
- e-Learning Miami Resources. In addition to e-Learning Miami's workshops, Fellows program, and individual consultations, their website is full of information on best practices, available technologies, learning design, and guidelines for transitioning to an online teaching environment.
- Teaching Effectively During Times of Disruption — “A detailed Google doc, written by Jenae Cohn and Beth Seltzer — both academic-tech specialists at Stanford University — is geared for Stanford, but there’s a lot there that anyone can use. Their guide is particularly noteworthy for how it breaks down the synchronous-asynchronous distinction, explaining advantages and disadvantages of each and offering guidance about how to use Zoom for virtual meetings” (Miller).
- Going Online in a Hurry: What to Do and Where to Start — Michelle Miller explains the top priorities for teachers faced with suddenly going online.
- Resources for Just-in-Time Online Teaching — “Derek Bruff, director of the Center for Teaching at Vanderbilt University, has pulled together a lot of useful ed-tech advice under the heading of "just-in-time online teaching." Read this page, in particular, for step-by-step instructions on key aspects of going online fast (the advice is geared toward the Brightspace learning-management system, in particular, but is general enough to apply to other platforms, too)” (Miller).
- CGC Community Doc for Online Teaching — An ongoing repository from the Consortium on Graduate Communication that includes resources and annotations.
