Welcome to My Online Classroom is a workshop series led by instructors, for instructors, with a specific focus on sharing a wide variety of ideas, strategies, and approaches to teaching online. The sessions will begin with a brief overview from the presenter, and then open for question-and-answer and discussion more broadly. The idea is to create spaces where instructors, regardless of experience, can exchange ideas for teaching online.

This particular session will be led by Melanie Coughlin, who has designed and taught fully web-based courses for the College of the Humanities and the Department of Philosophy. Her session focuses on how to communicate expectations when teaching online, with strategies for improving connection, consistency, and performance on assignments. Come learn how to avoid the pitfalls and maximize the benefits of teaching a course online.
