About this ebook

One of the biggest myths in online teaching is that it is easier and less time-consuming than teaching face-to-face. Many institutions, in fact, assign online teachers a heavier work load because “Hey, they’re only teaching online.” The truth is that teaching online takes more time and effort than face-to-face teaching because as a teacher you have to work harder to engage and support your students.

This book contains 50 tips to help you be successful in online teaching, from choosing your platform to designing and building your courses to supporting students as they complete your learning activities and assessments.
