Creating a Live Online Course
Resources for Live Online Instruction
This page is to help you with either transitioning your in-person course to an online format or to help you create an online learning experience using live online elements. Either way, you are likely feeling a bit anxious about how online instruction works and what new skills you'll need to learn. The first thing to keep in mind is that it is still instruction, and you are still an instructor. You will, for the most part, be doing the same things you already do, just leveraging technology to deliver your teaching. Yes, you will possibly need to get familiar with new technology, but you will have support with that. The first step is to get a sense of how you will do what you've always done in this online format.
You can think of your in-person courses as having key elements common to all courses. Each of these key elements will also occur in your online course. Below you will find details on how each of these elements map to online instruction.
