Abstract

In this essay I concentrate on a distinct aspect of teaching courses online postpandemic: concrete steps both to ease workload burden and to increase student learning efficacy. There are ten lessons that can facilitate moving instruction online:

  • Organize the Course in Weekly Modules
  • Communicate on a Regular Schedule
  • Post Key Lectures
  • Implement Discussions
  • Provide Frequent Feedback
  • Solicit Student Feedback
  • Reconsider Deadlines
  • Use Online Assessments
  • Experiment and Learn from Others
  • Proactively Seek Administrative Support

I applied these lessons to a specific course: Public Speaking. Traditionally based on face-to-face presentations, the ability to move this course online bodes well for adapting all instruction to the requirements of online learning.
