M2: Connecting to your course

Take a moment and think about a course that you have previously taught. This could include when you were the course instructor or teaching assistant at a post-secondary institution, or in a different setting. Think about what you did to create your teaching presence, engage with students, and provide feedback. Now, think about your upcoming course.

• How do you plan to engage with students in your online course?
• How and when will you provide feedback to your students?

It’s okay to feel anxious or unsure about teaching, especially if this is your first time teaching an online course. Good teaching takes preparation and experience, and by completing this module, you’re preparing yourself for teaching online.
