Time Saving Tips
We can be very creative when stretched for time! Here are a few tips the recent edition of Teaching Online. Dr. Hayden Davis, an online instructor, recommends the following:
- Re-use standard announcements. He suggests keeping them as word docs in a file that can be retrieved easily and “cut and pasted” into your announcements area.
- Collect examples of good work (including discussion posts) which can be used to demonstrate effective approaches with students.
Many of you likely have some great time saving tips that you have discovered over the years – whether teaching an online or print based course. Why not share them with your colleagues here? Just add a comments below with your tip included!
