    Topic Objectives:

    By the end of this topic you should be able to:

    • Understand the difference between an asynchronous and synchronous online course
    • Recognize methods for using Zoom to enhance an asynchronous online course

    • Synchronous vs Asynchronous Online Learing URL

      What's the difference between synchronous and asynchronous online learning? What technologies are used for each? What are the benefits of an asynchronous learning environment?

      All this and more, in under four minutes :)

    • Using Zoom in an Asychronous Course URL

      How can Zoom be used in an asynchronous online course? In this video we explore one very simple method for using Zoom asynchronously, an optional "syllabus review".

      And the best part? This video is less than three minutes!

    • Using Zoom to Facilitate Group Projects URL

      How can we use Zoom to facilitate student group work and presentations? In an asynchronous environment?

      This video is under 4 minutes long.

    • Bonus! - Tips for Recording Videos URL

      I only planned on three videos, but thought a bonus episode of tips for recording videos would be helpful. I hope you agree!

      About four minutes long.

    By the end of this topic you should be able to:

    • Understand why asynchronous online learning may work in your class.
    • Understand how to translate your personality from a F2F setting into an online environment.

    • Lesson

    • Voice-Over Powerpoint - Who is Pauline Hoffmann? File

    • Online Policies 

    • Netiquette Guidelines/Policy File

      Normally, I include these guidelines on my Moodle site in a pdf document. As a pdf, students aren't able to change it - or certainly not as easily. I include it here as a Word document so that you may take it and use it as you wish. Honestly, I do not mind if you take this document and use it without a single change.

    • Discussion Rubric File

      Again, I include this document as a pdf on my Moodle site. I include it here as a Word document in case you want to use it.

    • Additional Resources

    • Video Prepared for Previous Online Learning Seminar File

      This video was prepared for the online learning seminar led by Rene Hauser and Adam Brown. I include it here for reference.
