1. Preparing for Teaching Online Module I: Overview

3. So, what is online teaching? I n the most general sense, online teaching means teaching a course partially or entirely on the internet. Online teaching can take one of three forms:

4. Web-enhanced

5. Blended (or hybrid)

6. Fully Online

7. What’s in it for me?

8. Does any of this sound familiar?

9. "I lost my syllabus. Can I please get another copy?"

10. "I'm going to be out of town next week. Can I take the midterm when I come back?"

11. "I'm sure I emailed you the assignment. Did you check your spam folder?"

12. "I can't do my assignment because every time I go to the library they tell me that video is checked out."

13. "I live 60 miles away and I hate to drive to down town during rush hours!"

14. "In all my other classes I can see my grades online!"

15. If any of this sounds familiar, or you’ve heard something similar, then you might want to consider one form or another of online teaching.

17. OK, I get it, but what's the catch?
