Getting Started with Remote Teaching
If you’ve had to transition to teaching your course remotely, we’re here to help! This quick reference guide will help you make a smooth transition to remote teaching without requiring you to redesign your entire course. The resources in this guide have been gathered from a larger collection of best practices for teaching online.
Plan a mix of synchronous and asynchronous activities
Structure your remote class to take advantage of activities that work best asynchronously (student-paced, instructor-guided) and synchronously (in a live Zoom environment). Integrating asynchronous content into your course can help to reduce “Zoom fatigue” and provide you with more information about how your students are doing. Asynchronous content may include a mix of activities such as watching videos, participating in discussion forums, or completing practice exercises.
Get familiar with Zoom
Zoom is a key tool for delivering the “live,” or synchronous, parts of your course. In this section, you will learn how to schedule your Zoom class sessions, login to your NYU Zoom account, engage with your students, and best practices to make Zoom work for you.
Assess students remotely
When teaching remotely you’ll need to adjust your exams and other assessments for a digital environment. In this section, we’ll look at alternative options for assessing students online and ways to discourage cheating.
