I hate pure screencast videos... it's so much easier to watch when you have the human connection and can see someone's face.]]> 2016-08-16 13:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426426 Make sure that it's clear to students how the online work helps with major projects https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426524 2016-08-16 13:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426524 kendralandrews1 https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426596 For online classes, I like to add as much "personality" in my communication emails, instructions, and responses.]]> 2016-08-16 13:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426596 Multi-modal  apbrowni https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426638 Multimodal projects can take the place of 5 required pages of written work -- don't forget to use this as a way of avoiding essay-grading fatigue.]]> 2016-08-16 13:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426638 I send a "start the week" email to the class with tips and reminders. kendralandrews1 https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426831 2016-08-16 13:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426831 For online: Add a few videos - SHORT! - so they see who you are. https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426847 2016-08-16 13:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426847 Ask for help! apbrowni https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426915 2016-08-16 13:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118426915 Conferences: apbrowni https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427018 Instead of individual conferences (which can take hours), start with small groups of 3-5, meeting for 30 minutes or so.  That way you can meet all students within 2-3 hours, and they can get to know you better.]]> 2016-08-16 13:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427018 I'm strict with myself on the time I spend - I schedule it and treat it like a F2F class. kendralandrews1 https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427114 2016-08-16 13:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427114 https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427172 I feel like I could have done a better job of getting students to contact me individually... I got the impression that students felt like they were bothering me every time they'd email me.]]> 2016-08-16 13:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kendralandrews1/aj7o18mxsler/wish/118427172 Don't reinvent the wheel every semester.
