Transitioning your face-to-face syllabus for an online instruction: Sustaining an engaging experience

Online teaching and learning are more than shifting educational content to virtual environments or reduplicating Face-to-Face classroom sessions. In reverse, they involve effective redesigning content for a virtual environment; rethinking course objectives, and integrating technology purposefully to augment students’ engagement. While this process may initially sound challenging, the reaped benefits to students and instructors can be incredible. Drawing from two years of study and practical teaching implementation at Al Akhawayn University, this presentation will share innovative instructional strategies that will help faculty and librarians overcome some of the challenges and make their transition from face-to-face to online instruction an easy process.
