Online teaching effectiveness The following behaviors are associated with effective online teaching: n providing timely and meaningful feedback, n creating learning activities that engage students, n keeping students interested and motivated, n ensuring students interact with each other, and n encouraging students to be critical and reflective. These behaviors constitute criteria for evaluation of online teaching. For each behavior there needs to be a definition of minimal acceptable performance as well as exemplary performance. To assess online teaching effectiveness, these behaviors need to be evaluated during the delivery of online classes. Most existing teaching evaluation does not assess these kinds of factors.
