I’m just exploring my options
Getting Started
If the March COVID crisis was your first exposure to remote teaching, or if you are starting to consider what your options are for Fall 2020, this is a good place to start. This pathway will let you explore what we mean by online learning (and how it’s different from crisis remote teaching) and hopefully answer some questions.
This pathway assumes that you have very little experience with online teaching and learning and just want to learn a little more about it.
Time to complete: 30 minutes
Recommended timeline: Anytime before you start planning to go online

I’m curious how online teaching and learning has been done in my field.
You might think that your field or topic can’t be taught online. You also might be surprised to find your discipline listed in some of the research already been published about their experiences teaching online. Check out our list of some of the studies published by discipline.
I have more questions now.
That’s great! We hopefully have some answers for you in our FAQ. If you have additional questions, you can ask us here as well.
