Teaching an online cohort presents unique challenges. Online students are geographically dispersed and socially isolated from their classmates, which impacts on their needs and expectations. Effective teaching strategies are key to keeping students motivated, maintaining engagement with learning activities and thereby improving student outcomes.
In this course we will be exploring some fundamental online teaching concepts and strategies, plus sharing practical tips, based on direct experience, that you will be able to apply when teaching in a fully online learning environment. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to pause and reflect on the learning that is taking place. Ideally, you will be also sharing views, considerations and plans with peers, with the aim of forming communities of practice, which you can continue to engage with beyond the scope of this course.

The sudden closure of University campuses has forced institutions and their teaching staff to consider alternative ways of assessing their students. When adapting an assessment and feedback strategy for the online environment, it is always worth keeping in mind the key roles that assessment and feedback play in your overall learning design.
In this 1-week course on online assessment, we will be looking at concepts, strategies and tips which you can use when designing and implementing an assessment and feedback strategy in a fully online learning environment. You will explore some key principles and get familiar with some useful, practical tools. You will then put what you’ve learnt into practice by designing and evaluating a fully-online assessment and feedback strategy in your own teaching context.

When creating learning experiences for online students it is essential to remember that each student is working predominantly in isolation. Each student in an online cohort will approach their studies slightly differently, with different preferences, different expectations, different needs, and at different times. This makes it essential that we design the activities and structure the learning journey in a way that is flexible, clear and robust enough to accommodate this diversity and ensure that every student is given the best possible opportunity to excel.
At CEG Digital we apply a bespoke Learning Design framework to optimise our courses in this way. To find out more, why not join our 1-week course (expectation of 4 hours), aimed at lecturers in HE, that will take you through some fundamentals of ‘Designing for Online Learners’.
