Principle depends on the mode

8. Principles of effective Online Pedagogy
Bill Pelz a Professor of Psychology -Award for Excellence in Online Teaching (2020)
Principle 1: Let the students do (most of) the work. The more time students spend
engaged with the content, the more they will learn.
Principle 2: Interactivity is the heart and soul of effective online learning.
Principle 3: Strive for presence: social, cognitive, and teaching presence.

9. 3 core questions
Content: What are the core concepts or ideas that we want our students to
learn in a particular class, module, and course?
Pedagogy: What is the most effective way that we can get our students to
engage with the material to understand these concepts and maximize
learning? In particular, how should students engage with the material
(a) before the class (asynchronously); (b) during class (synchronously); and
(c) after class (asynchronously)?
Assessment: How can we assess their understanding of the material most
effectively?

10. Principles
Choosing the right mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Long lectures do not work
Create peer communities
Review your course activities
Designing your course “digital-first.”
Creating high-quality video
Focus on the principles of effective pedagogy than technology
Go live sessions
Consider content reusability

15. Instructor Presence
Establish teaching presence early and often:
Post announcements, appear on video and participate in discussions.
Show your personality, passion, and expertise.

17. Use Graphic Organizers to draw schedules

18. Real World Applications
Motivate students by making a real-world connection:
Show students how they will apply what they are learning.

19. Teach for Online Students
Orient students to the online course:
Break learning into smaller chunks. Establish a pattern of activity and due dates
Describe expectations for online participation, communication, and netiquette.
Provide technical support information.

20. Clear Expectations
Help students dive straight into the content by providing them with:
Detailed syllabus.
Due dates and schedule.
Clear assignment directions.

21. Learning Objectives
Alignment matters! Be sure that:
Course content aligns with objectives and assessments.
Extra content not directly supporting the learning objectives is removed or made
optional.

22. Prompt Feedback
Provide feedback to improve student outcomes:
Reinforce important materials, concepts, and skills.
Provide timely feedback students can apply during the course.

24. Engage Students
The quality of interaction between students is a sign of a successful class:
Create educational experiences for students that are challenging, enriching,
and that extend their academic abilities.
Provide students with opportunities to interact with peers, such as through di
scussion and group work.
