Tips and Tools for Online Educators
Three cornerstones of my online teaching
Kindness
When you start with kindness as a guiding principle in teaching or designing online courses, it will make a difference for you and your students.
Clarity
Online courses need to be extra clear to effectively guide students through what's often a new or unfamiliar experience.
Flexibility
Flexible courses and policies provide grace when it's needed for faculty and students and allow for a customized experience every semester.
