A Note about Online Teaching

Faculty members new to online teaching at Manhattanville will be required to complete the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship's online asynchronous professional development course, Fundamentals of Online Teaching. The course supports faculty in designing and teaching courses according to established best practices as determined by research, such as:

• The differences among online course formats (synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid)
• Backward design and the flipped classroom
• Creating student engagement through communication, discussions, and other forms of social presence
• Building courses in the University's learning management system, Brightspace

To develop online courses, faculty may work with the CTLS Office of Instructional Technology. An Instructional Technologist or Peer Mentor from the Office can advise on the instructional design of the course and ensure that it meets the research‑based criteria in the Online Course Rubric - Principles of Online Teaching.xlsx.
