When teaching an online course for the first time, many instructors feel both excited and nervous. The excitement about teaching a course in a new format is sometimes overshadowed by the complexity of developing and delivering an online course. Worries about time commitment, technical requirements, and content breadth usually top the list of concerns. However, experienced online instructors know that sound content and pedagogy still take center stage in an online course. The facilitators provide an overview of the most popular instructional strategies used in online education, particularly as they apply to LAS courses. They also discuss the many resources available to LAS faculty members and instructional staff to successfully teach a course online.

Facilitators: Eric Snodgrass, Jason Mock, and Colleen Cook
