Welcome to the Pedagogy Section. Here you'll find readings on pedagogy in various courses, as well as information specific to teaching online.
Here you can find content for the following courses currently:
This content is primarily adopted from Dr. Pope's guide for online transitions for Spring 2020. It will eventually be updated with more content, but that document is the starting point.
Online pedagogy can be described as focusing on the specific affordances and strategies available when teaching in an online environment. When we talk about online pedagogy, generally, we are speaking about courses that are designed from the ground up as online spaces for learning.
In these online courses, we will need to provide very clear instructions to students while providing them with the ability to complete coursework in a non-traditional manner. Because students may not have the same schedule when they’re away from campus, we will transition our courses to a weekly scheduling model. Major deadlines will fall on Sunday night at midnight, with minor deadlines potentially able to fall during the week to facilitate discussions and interactions.
