Teaching Tip: Adding synchronous strategies to a distance course
November 10, 2015
Flexibility is often a factor for students taking distance courses. Being able to
attend class wherever and/or whenever can be a huge benefit for nontraditional students
in particular, but integrating synchronous activities into an online class can often
help with engagement.
In this week’s Teaching Tip, celebrating National Distance Learning Week, Jennifer Moss shares strategies for incorporating synchronous activities (which
ask students to be present at the same time) into an online course: http://elearning.uaf.edu/go/tt-synch-strategy.

trainer with over 20 years of experience in academics and higher education.
