If you're not teaching online now, you will be someday! Most of these tips apply to face-to-face courses, anyway.
In the previous episode, Kevin suggested:. It's all about connections.
Cultivate a friendly, informal, and supportive 'online teaching persona'. Express empathy, don't just have empathy. Use customer-service skills when communicating with students. Use our own pain points and frustrations to tap into how our students might feel (8:10) Online courses are notorious for high dropout rates and high failure rates, compared to traditional face-to-face classes. Kevin continues to share a bunch (perhaps not exactly 49) strategies he has found to work in creating and nurturing the kinds of connections that help retain students and support their success in the course. This episode focuses on adding faces to an online course (sort of like in a face-to-face course), plus how to use scheduled video, audio, and text announcements to stay connected with students. 'A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.'
