Education

Over the years I have learned a thing or two about designing online courses. The first is as Douglas Adams articulated so well don't panic.

As a teacher I promoted high–level thinking by placing students in situations where they needed to solve problems within the context of projects research investigations laboratory experimentation etc.

As every educator knows a rubric is a scoring tool typically used for formative assessments. Rubrics can be especially helpful when used for assessments that may be subjective in nature.

A syllabus should be the “go to” document for students in any course no matter its’ delivery method. An effective syllabus should eliminate the possibility of confusion on the part of your students as it should answer relatively any question they might have about the course and course components.

For many teachers teaching in the online environment is not what they expected. They dreamed of spending days in brick and mortar classrooms full of learners their eyes bright and their minds focused on each and every word we said. Times have changed learners have changed and so – we teachers must change too.
