Review

To change from a face-to-face class to online, you should do the following:

1. Review your course activities and resources
2. Identify which activities and resources you'd like to keep as is
3. Identify which activities and resources you will need to change for the online environment.

You may need to alter your resources or activities to run well online. Additionally, you will need to choose which activities to run synchronously and which to run asynchronously. For help identifying the best course of action for your course, see Step 2: Strategies and Step 3: Resources of the Academic Continuity Plan. For those activities/resources you will change, you should consider how they will be presented in an online environment. 

• For resources, upload the files and/or add hyperlinks to your course site.
• For activities, choose the activity/resource type and include an activity title, directions, and grading information. 
  • For Moodle help, see the Add/Edit Activities & Resources confluence page

Once you know what student learning experiences you need to facilitate online, decide whether synchronous (real-time or live) or asynchronous options suit your needs. Step 2: Strategies is full of strategies for how to accomplish these tasks. Also, feel free to contact Mark Henderson and the Online Learning Office to assist in thinking through how your unique course outcomes can be met online. Below is an explanation of the pros and cons of synchronous or asynchronous activities.
