- 80. you can neverbe too clear If you want to save yourself a lot of time and headache, make sure you clearly define all class expectations up front. That means more than simply posting a syllabus or grading rubric. Instead try sharing real life examples of what to do and what not to do whenever possible.
- 81. 2. Clarify Toneand Communication Styles
- 82. Students tend tobe more informal when communicating online—thanks to online messaging and social media—so it’s never a bad idea to set some classroom communication guidelines from the start.
- 83.
- 84. Keeping your students activelyengaged Hiding behind screens it’s easy for students to check out or do the bare minimum, so you’ll have to work at keeping the conversation going. Try requiring minimum response lengths for assignments and posing open- ended questions.
- 85. 4) More IsNot Always Better
- 86. Too many additionalresources and tools can be distracting and overwhelming for your students. So, don’t feel the need to try and overcompensate for the lack of in- person instruction with bells and whistles; instead, stick with a few trusted resources.
- 87. 5) Be Responsive— butSet Limits
- 88. Just because you’reonline doesn’t mean that you’re accessible 24/7. Communicate with your students when you are and when you are not available, as well as when they can expect a reply, so everyone is on the same page.

- 92. Online classes meanyour students are missing out on social interactions with their peers. The conversations and discussions they would normally have before and after class are still important so try creating a separate online forum just for them to make introductions, socialize and bounce ideas around.
- 93. 8) Don’t Forgetthe Value of Group Assignments

- 96. When you’re staringat a screen and uploading assignments, it’s easy to feel like you’re being taught by a computer rather than a person – and that impersonal feeling is not very conducive for learning. Help your students feel more connected by injecting some personal touches. Post a picture of yourself or a fun introductory video, anything to remind them that you are indeed a human.
- 97. 10) Practice Empathy andCompassion
- 98. With online teachingthere are things that will inevitably go wrong. There will be technical issues, miscommunications and activities that don’t go as planned. Try and assume the best of intentions and remember that we’re all dealing with this new normal together.
