5 ONLINE TEACHING STRATEGIES

Online courses have become an incredibly popular way for students and employees to advance
their education or professional development. Teaching an online course requires different
methods from the traditional classroom, so it’s important that teachers adapt or develop their
skills to the online learning environment, to make their materials effective and engaging for
learners. Let’s look at 5 strategies you can implement to improve your online teaching and make
your eLearning course a successful experience for both you and your learners.

1. Engage With Your Learners Online

Without your physical presence in the classroom, it’s vital that you establish a virtual presence at
the very beginning of the eLearning course. Online teachers need to be engaging and
supporting students right from the start and for the duration of the course, to maintain an
effective learning community.

By establishing your teacher presence, you’ll show students that you’re both visible and
available. You’ll also be welcoming them to their new learning community – just as you would in
any traditional classroom.

Let your students know what days or timeframes you will be online and how they can contact
you outside of those hours.

Engage with your learning community through online posts, forums or social media – when
people see teachers putting time into discussions and engagement, they’ll be more encouraged
to participate themselves. Through this engagement, you’ll also develop professional
relationships with your students and make their experience far more personal and memorable.

2. Create A Supportive Learning Environment

As an online teacher, you have an opportunity to create a supportive online community for your
learners.

The best way to achieve this is through encouraging both teacher-to-student engagement and
student-to-student interaction. Dr Judith V. Boettcher, PhD and author of A Faculty Guide for
Moving Teaching and Learning to the Web, suggests the following strategies:

 At the start of your online course, get the ball rolling with a personal introduction
post, and encourage participants to contribute their own short bio or introduction to
the group.
 Create an open forum or discussion board where learners can post to request help
and assistance from each other, developing peer-to-peer support.
 Set up small groups, similar to traditional study groups, for supportive mentoring of
fellow learners.
These strategies will encourage learners to work together as an active learning community,
which brings benefits to all individuals involved.

3. Use A Mix Of Learning Tools For Better Engagement

These days, we’re fortunate to have the technology to create virtual learning environments that
allow us to collaborate and engage just as well as if we were in the classroom.

As Dr Boettche says, “the variety of activities that are now possible online makes it possible to
create many types of effective learning environments.”

The best online teachers use a combination of both synchronous and asynchronous activities,
creating a blend of traditional online learning styles with newer, more collaborative audio and
visual tools. Working with a mix of activities makes the content more interesting and exciting,
increasing student engagement with both the teacher and other learners.

You can learn more about blended learning models in Teaching Online, a short 2-hour course
that looks at the differences between online and face-to-face classroom teaching, as well as
ways to introduce collaborative learning into your online program

4. Provide Ongoing Feedback

Feedback is an essential component of all effective learning environments – including online.

As an online teacher, your feedback will help to create an eLearning experience that is
informative, engaging, and motivational for the learner. Your feedback should be continuous
during the eLearning process, with constructive feedback offered as soon as possible so that
students can clearly identify which behaviors or skills need to be improved.

You can encourage group feedback through collaborative exercises, which also helps to
promote peer engagement.

5. Make eLearning Content Mobile

It’s wise to acknowledge the importance of mobile learning for online teachers, with students
and employees now accustomed to using their mobile devices for learning.

Mobile learning holds key advantages for learners, allowing them to access up-to-date course
materials and relevant content anywhere, anytime. With bite-sized pieces of information
available to be digested quickly and easily, learners can work through course materials at their
own pace, assisting both performance and productivity.

Make sure your eLearning content can be easily accessed via smartphones, laptops, and iPads to
maximize your teaching methods. You’ll also be demonstrating to your learners that you’re in
touch with the needs of today’s modern workforce and its relevant technology.

With these strategies in place you can feel more confident about your online teaching skills and
eLearning materials. You’ll also know that you’re working to create a more positive and
collaborative learning environment for your students.
