Description

This open licensed course/book has 12 chapters that have been developed to help transition to teaching online. 

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.”

This resource captures key insights from a full-day workshop held on 8 May 2025, hosted by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and led by internationally recognised expert Dr Alison Cook-Sather. The event focused on the transformative potential of authentic student-staff partnerships as a strategic approach to advancing student engagement, success, and institutional effectiveness.

Attended by academic staff, institutional leaders, student success professionals, and sector partners from across Ireland, the workshop featured a combination of keynote presentations, lightning talks, and interactive sessions. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, participants explored how to build meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable collaboration between students and staff.
