July 8, 2016
One of the most common questions faculty ask in is: 鈥淲hat does an online course look like?鈥 We all have years 鈥 and in some cases
decades 鈥 of practice forming expectations of face-to-face learning experiences, but
for those who are new to teaching online it is often difficult to imagine how it all
works. Learning experiences are complicated. Even if you鈥檙e a veteran online instructor,
it can be helpful to take a look at what others are doing in their online courses.
No matter where you鈥檙e at, touring a few courses can be a very important step toward
building your fluency with the medium of online instruction.
for ideas on where to find courses that will be helpful to you.
