Description: Online learning provides numerous advantages to educators and learners. Flexibility and convenience for learners is a driving force for online course enrollment and the high-quality course design and delivery ensure that online learning is not a lesser alternative to face-to-face learning. Good online teaching takes awareness of key principals, self-assessment, and practice. How can you improve your course design and delivery? What are the essential elements of effective teaching online? Join us for an informal conversation with two experts who have written the books on online learning, Dr. Tony Bates, author of Teaching in a Digital Age, and Dr. Shannon Riggs, author of Thrive Online: A New Approach to Building Expertise and Confidence as an Online Educator.

Bring your questions and experiences to this conversation. Our experts will discuss:

  • Not all online learning is created equally.
  • Trends in online and the rapid move to remote learning in spring 2020.
  • Principles of effective teaching in the digital age.
  • Frameworks for developing online courses including backward design.
  • Advice for academic leaders.
  • Quality course design.
  • Building and leading teams.
