Online Teaching Practices - Clarity

How is being clear about content and grading in an online course different from face-to-face? What needs to be emphasized? What should be avoided? Join Rob and Jared as they discuss clarity in online teaching. 

 

Clarity in an online course can be achieved by avoiding “UNCLEAR” practices:    

• U – Unexplained jargon or acronyms 
• N – Nonspecific instructions or vague prompts 
• C – Complex, run-on sentences 
• L – Lack of examples or concrete models 
• E – Erratic formatting or inconsistent styling 
• A – Assumptions about prior knowledge 
• R – Rushed or delayed feedback
