When transitioning a course from a face to face environment to an online environment, it is essential that the course captures all of the necessary information the student needs to effectively learn the material, while structuring the content and layout of the material in a way that keeps the student engaged and interested in the content. This takes some planning and preparation. The course material must be clear as the student cannot rely on facial cues or in class questions to clarify the content. At times, depending on the complexity of the material, it may be easier and more effective for the teaching and learning of the material for the entire course to be re-tooled into an online course.
