M2: Going further
Thinking about the course you are teaching, draft the message that you will send to your students to introduce yourself and welcome students to your course.
Great teaching can happen anywhere, but teaching online requires different skills, strategies and tools than teaching in a face-to-face classroom. If you would like to “practice” or “rehearse” with online teaching tools and receive feedback, consider meeting with an Educational Consultant at the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). To arrange a meeting, please complete the request form.
CTLT offers both synchronous and asynchronous workshops to support your learning. Check the CTLT Events Page to sign up for synchronous workshops, or take advantage of the on-demand workshop recordings that complement this module.
We recommend the following on-demand workshop to complement this module:
