- Teaching adult learners online - I highly recommend the book, The Online Teaching Survival Guide by Boettcher and Conrad (2016), which was used as the foundation for a recent Center for Faculty Development learning community. It's available online through the UHCL Library.
- Best online teaching practices (synchronous and asynchronous) - again, there are a plethora of resources available; however, as a quick starter, I recommend the ACUE Online Teaching Toolkit website. In addition, our team is currently developing an online course for faculty on Beyond Blackboard - Effective Techniques for Online and Hybrid Teaching. We expect to launch that new course in SP or SU22.
