Five Ways to Succeed as an Online Instructor
Whether experienced or new to online teaching, following these tips on online instruction can make the process more intuitive. The online environment may seem vastly different from the classroom, but these tips will make it feel natural, allowing you to improve student experience, increase teaching efficacy, cultivate engagement, and ensure successful course management.

Instructors should keep in mind the tools, structure, and best practices that can help them provide feedback.
