4. Moving Online

5. What I thought
How can I translate my assignments and lectures to an online format?
I guess I can’t do any group work online. Oh well.
Bring on the PowerPoint Parade.

6. What was possible
Online is not just a translation of face-to-face activities. It’s more.
Group work can work online. In fact, you can be more involved in the groups when they move online. You just have to plan accordingly.
Sorry, but students are not always reviewing your PowerPoint Presentations.

7. Strong online students are great teachers.

8. What students told me Clear layout, no confusion
Clear deadlines, told upfront so that I can plan around them.
Clear expectations
Varied resources - not just PowerPoints
Meaningful feedback

12. Step Two
Create your summative assessments. Summative assessments measure your student learning outcomes.

13. Step Three
Create your formative assessments and learning activities. How are you going to help your students prepare for your summative assessments?

14. Step Four
Create your overall course layout. Make the decision of the structure in Canvas and use that same structure every week. Make it STUDENT FRIENDLY.

15. Step Five
Use a variety of content to help your students learn your course material. Before you create anything, search for it.

16. Step Six
Develop an engagement plan. Connect your students to you (faculty), the other students and the content.

17. Step Seven
Think about ways to help the student be successful in your course.

It all stems from your Student Learning Outcomes.
