Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

In the words of the authors “This course is an attempt to re-frame the idea of what it means to start teaching online. It will not give you a step by step process to create a syllabus or tell you what buttons to press. The intent of this course is to present you with online learning as a conceptual challenge. These 12 chapters are meant to help transition to teaching online. It is based on our first seven weeks of working with faculty in an intensive synchronous/asynchronous course at the University of Windsor in Canada. Our advice is that you choose one topic a day, watch the short (2-3 min) video, and do the suggested action. Find a friend. Work together.”
