Faculty readiness to teach online and student readiness to take online courses are key to success in online education. In a Campus Technology<\/a> article, Paul Beaudoin writes,<\/p>\n

Teaching in the blended or online learning environment is not a direct transfer of the traditional face-to-face class. The challenges of online learning often require a different set of skills that may not come easily to brick-and-mortar instructors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul suggests six things instructors can do to be better online teachers. They are: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Maximize your digital savvy<\/li>\n
  2. Be an active and engaged participant<\/li>\n
  3. Reinvent your wheel<\/li>\n
  4. Include your learners in the learning process<\/li>\n
  5. Reassess assessment<\/li>\n
  6. Realize it's okay to fail<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
