Teaching online is significantly different from teaching face-to-face, both pedagogically and technologically. To be as successful as possible, we recommend initial training about online teaching before or during developing your online course. After that, you can further develop your online teaching skills by attending additional workshops about online teaching.
In addition, you can choose to complete an Online Teaching Readiness Self-Assessment and receive a customized training plan. Contact us at citl@niu.edu for more information.
