A woman and an older man are working together at a desk in a bright office. The woman is leaning forward, pointing at a laptop screen, while the man sits beside her, smiling and holding a coffee cup. The desk is cluttered with office supplies and papers, and a large window in the background lets in natural light.

Online Teaching Toolkit

Online teaching presents unique challenges compared to face-to-face instruction. Student success depends on an easy-to-navigate Canvas course pages, transparent and clear criteria for participation, frequent and timely instructor feedback, and opportunities for engagement. Developing an effective online course may take more preparation than a face-to-face or hybrid course.
