10 tips to know about Virtual Teaching Software
2
1. Virtual teaching takes a lot of time and
preparation

• Virtual teaching software takes as much if not
  more preparation than teaching in a traditional
  classroom. Be prepared to take what you've
  learned in the classroom and re-construct it for
  a virtual setting. This means re-thinking how you
  present materials, coursework, and daily
  assignments.

2. Communicate

• Communication is critical since there is no face
  to face time in the virtual classroom. In fact,
  some students may assume the classroom is always
  open no matter the hour day or night. Plan time
  to respond to students and provide feedback in a
  thorough, complete and timely manner.

3. Build a strong online community

• It's up to you to build a strong sense of
  community in the virtual classroom. You will need
  to encourage the use of message boards, e-mailing
  back and forth and taking part in group chats.
  Students will be prone to log in, skim through
  the material, complete the assignment and leave.
  Develop engaging questions and discussion
  starters.

4. Familiarize yourself with virtual classroom

• Before you can even start developing the
  material, you will need to set aside time to
  learn the web-based classroom programming. You
  won't be able to simply walk into the classroom,
  smile at your students and start a conversation.
  Think of ways to welcome students.

5. Easy navigation is crucial

• Make sure your coursework is presented in a clear
  and concise manner. Students see online courses
  as a way to speed up their education and they
  expect to log in, check out the material for the
  day, submit assignments and move on. With this in
  mind, you will need to make sure everything is
  laid out in an easy to use setting.

6. Dont re-use classroom curriculum

• Things that worked in a regular classroom may not
  work in the virtual classroom. Start with a new
  plan for exploring material, sharing insights,
  and engaging interaction. Make good use of the
  message board and group chat areas instead.

7. Always answer question

• There will be times when a student will message
  you for help in a particular area. Make the time
  to respond to that question even if you've
  already responded in a different post or you've
  made it clear within the course material.

8. Live teaching with care

• If you're live teaching, make sure you know the
  system ahead of time. If you're frazzled because
  you don't know how to operate the program,
  students will sense that. Prepare ahead of time
  and greet students with a welcome slide login.

9. Assignment will take longer

• In the classroom, you may have students work on
  their own for 30 minutes to complete an
  assignment, but don't expect this online.
  Students will be popping in and out of the
  classroom at various times of the day or week so
  plan assignment due dates accordingly.

10. Ask for feedback

• Be open to feedback as this will help you grow as
  a virtual teacher. Don't wait to ask for feedback
  at the end of the course. Ask at the beginning
  and in the middle too. This will help you reach
  the students in a more impacting way especially
  if there is something you need to change to make
  the material more online friendly.
