For Instructors Who Are Teaching Completely Online Courses
kl
Online courses have become an increasingly popular option. Institutions can expand their reach, and
yn
students benefit from having courses that fit their schedule. There are a number of ways in which online
courses are taught. They range from self-paced courses with minimal instructor involvement to hybrid
e
courses combining traditional classroom sessions with online course meetings and activities.
A
pl
The classroom experience presents a unique opportunity to communicate with students and to impart an
understanding of a particular subject and the nuances behind it. A successful online course should emulate
us
this standard as much as possible. For the self-motivated student, online learning may be an excellent tool
to help maximize learning potential. For others, self-learning may be difficult, making the online
experience a challenge. The tools in this program have been designed to assist you in achieving positive
Pa
outcomes with all types of students.
ss
Here are some of the tools available to you:
• Stop and Think exercises along with a detailed Case Study in each interactive lecture emphasize
the development of critical thinking skills.
• Discussion questions, assignments, practice activities, and graded chapter quizzes are included to
enrich the learning experience and develop students’ cognitive skills.

Enhancing the Online Learning Experience
The National Education Association has published an online document that suggests some of the best
ways for engaging students in the online learning experience
(https://www.cstu.org/files/onlineteachguide.pdf). This document is meant for high school distance
learning, but many of its ideas can be applied to online learning in general.
Researchers and instructors generally suggest the key to making online learning successful is to maintain
all forms of contact between the student and instructor as much as possible. This may involve individual
feedback for students, online class meetings at appointed times, or being available for student questions
and concerns. Some specific suggestions for maintaining valuable contact include the following:
• Hold an introductory session either online or in-person so students can get to know you, the
instructor, as well as their fellow students.
Fr
• Set up ―office time‖ or time when you are available for student interaction online.
an
• Hold class meetings via the various online formats that allow for exchanges between you and
your students as well as among the students themselves. This type of feedback enhances the learning
kl
experience.
yn
• Provide regular feedback to students regarding scored assessments. If a particular student is
having a problem, ask for a ―conference‖ online to find out what the problem is and how you can direct
e
the student to a better outcome.
A
• Regularly ask students for their feedback on the course and determine whether they have general
problems or questions that you can help them answer.
pl
• Use direct emails to give personal feedback as often as possible, particularly with students who
us
seem to be struggling.
• Use message boards to keep in contact.

Ensuring a Student-Centered Approach
One of the most important qualities of an effective online instructor is taking a personal interest in
students and understanding their unique circumstances. Students will likely fall into varying age groups
and may be in different stages of life. Some will have difficult work schedules, and some will be changing
careers in an effort to secure work. Additionally, English may be a second language to some of your
students. Understanding this context with respect to each student will be helpful in establishing a
successful and productive online course.
