1. What are some online best pedagogical practices?
2. How will my online students differ from the face-to-face students I am used to?
3. How will I communicate my teaching persona?
4. How much time can I expect to spend teaching online?
5. Where do I begin? (includes beginning of semester checklist)
6. How can I use Canvas most effectively?
7. What does the research say about teaching online?
8. How can I create a successful video/screen-cast of myself? (includes information about screen-casting from Kerri Mitchell)
9. How can I create successful online discussion?
