Introduction to Teaching Online provides a variety of resources, including readings and videos, as well as opportunities to interact with content and peers through activities and discussion. Learn essential elements of online teaching with a focus on using evidence-based practices, and leave with a set of concrete next steps and resources to support your future online teaching.
