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.
