    This is a brief article aimed at University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate students offering time management and email writing tips. I chose this article both because I find the general time management tips helpful for everyone and I feel that many of my students would benefit from similar suggestions/guidelines when communicating professionally online. I especially enjoyed the line reminding students, "that many faculty view an e-mail message as a letter that was delivered quickly rather than a quick conversation."

    Written in 2006, the author shares his tips and tricks for reducing instructor workload after teaching both online and hybrid courses. Two useful tips the author shared are: 1) to create a reference list and share links to references as applicable in each learning module, and 2) to setup appropriate assessments when developing course assignments (such as mixing instructor, peer, and self-assessments) to help instructor manage workload assessment per student.

      This seems to be common. It's like that old line, "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" Not counting one year's prep time seems to be cheating in many ways.

      There is a lot of disagreement in the literature about whether online teaching takes more or less time. Some studies, such as this one, say it takes less. Some say it takes a lot more. Some claim no difference. The study that we read for M2 (Van de Vord & Pogue) reviewed the range of these. (Their study was a disaster in my humble opinion, by the way.) My impression is that the methodologies are very poor and that the controversy will continue until methodological issues are ironed out.

  • yet the consensus among the research suggests that teaching online involves less of a time commitment from the course instructor than does a face-to-face class
  • did not include curriculum development time, set-up or development of course home page,
  • A time management strategy that considers the factors and nuances of teaching online should include, a time blocking strategy, communicating frequently with students collectively in anticipation of potential questions, involving students in peer reviews and discussions, and creating an efficient grading strategy.

    I found this article to be very helpful in providing a sense that it will be possible to control time use when teaching on line. It gives great tips on how to overcome the feeling that online teaching will be a 24/7 class rather than one that meets TTh 10-11:15 in White Hall 208! I like this one a lot.

    Online teaching redefines the faculty member's schedule. The feeling of being a 24/7 professor can lead to frustration. Managing one's time as an online teacher can be a challenge. As the popularity of online education continues to grow, teaching faculty need to develop effective time management behaviors to be efficient and not just busy.

    Thank you for sharing this! I find the tips all very useful. As one example, I am going to give the students a syllabus quiz, for sure. When I took the Zaption quiz Leah prepared during M1, I was a bit surprised by how much information my brain did not retain reading through the course guidelines. The quiz was obviously helpful.
