At a time where synchronous and/or asynchronous on-line class instruction is becoming more and more significant amongst colleges and universities across the country and internationally; the need for a more structured and systematic approach to on-line teaching is becoming more apparent as well. The session will explore best practices and effective approaches to the on-line instructional environment. Topics the presenters will explore include: Ethics and communication, Instructional designs, and Technology implementation. The session would be beneficial to both the beginning on-line instructor as well as the advanced on-line educator looking to enhance overall student learning and engagement.
