Teaching

This Guide will provide foundational concepts and practical strategies to support HPE educators and institutions toward advancing pedagogically informed use of online HPE. This Guide consists of two parts. The first part will provide an overview of evidence, theories, formats, and educational design in online learning, including contemporary issues and considerations such as learner engagement, faculty development, inclusivity, accessibility, copyright, and privacy.

The purpose of this PRIMER is to help teachers optimize synchronous on-line learning environments (SOLE), where teachers/instructors/ facilitators and learners are interacting together in real time.

When moving from face-to-face to online/remote on a short timeline remember to focus on the essential learning outcomes. Communicate this to students, reassure them of your support, and be flexible in the options provided where possible.
