Take charge of your online teaching evaluations

Until recently, teachers and students faced each other in the same classroom at the same time.

The increase of online courses has changed that model dramatically, affecting how teachers are evaluated in profound ways.

More pressure is put on faculty and institutions today to develop online course offerings and to figure out how to teach them.

With just the click of a button, students who are unsatisfied with the quality of a course can move into an online environment, taking their tuition dollars with them.

It is essential that faculty understand the best practices that underlie evaluations of effective online teaching.

To gain this awareness, order Online Teaching Toolkit: Evaluate & Improve Your Teaching, a 40-minute online seminar from Magna Publications.
