Abstract
This chapter is designed to provide resources and answer questions on two levels. In the first part, the authors present a menu of considerations and challenges that they have experienced when shifting an accredited undergraduate program to a parallel online modality over the past several years. In addition, they offer suggestions for working within the BlackBoard learning environment and give a glossary of commonly encountered online instruction terms. They identify some commonalities between online and traditional instruction that can serve to make newcomers more comfortable adding online teaching to their skill set.
