Abstract

Using two large, blended communications courses as case studies, this chapter suggests that designing online courses that prioritize asynchronous collaboration and self-directed learning is key to increasing the productivity, efficiency, and wellness of students and faculty alike. Informed by insights from student feedback and research on social teaching strategies, the chapter discusses how to use technology to implement active learning opportunities that encourage and engage students. The chapter includes actionable ideas for leveraging the campus learning management system as a collaborative learning platform, to help online faculty manage the many demands on their time.
