Managing a Course that is Better Taken Onsite
This term I was given the task of a course that would be better served if it was presented onsite than online. It has been a challenge to me, as it has taken more initiative on my part to convey more information to the students than what they are getting out of the online lecture and textbooks. I know that I will have to take what I did onsite and convert it so that my students can understand it without me standing overthem to help them through it. This is challenging, but not unobtainable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have been thinking about the same thing. I teach mathematics online and in the classroom. I think math is a good subject to be taught online- one just needs lectures, and then the student must master the material themselves. The amount of student work is the same irrespective of how the lectures are being delivered. However, I have found that accountability is a major factor in my student's success. I can more effectively apply the accountability in person that I seem to be able to online. Do you have any thoughts about this?

Phyllis,
View some YouTube videos as there are many great tutorials there to help with several different subjects or create your own. Students love visuals.
