Taking a course online

January 22, 2021

This morning I completed my magnum opus (nearly 3,500 words) on the process I went through when converting a course from one I’d taught in a physical classroom to one I could teach online.

I’m an experienced teacher and found the process of converting an offline course to an online one exciting and interesting, but also challenging. In light of this, Ofsted’s recent declaration that one of the myths about “remote education” (a terrible term, by the way) that:

“remote education is fundamentally different to other forms of teaching/learning…”

serves to indicate, to me at least, that whoever wrote the document What's working well in remote education has little or no first-hand experience of teaching online.

I’m unable to publish my article just yet because I’m waiting for permission to quote someone. But in the meantime I’ve published an article on hybrid learning for the subscribers to my free newsletter, Digital Education.


If you found this article interesting and useful, why not subscribe to my free newsletter, Digital Education? It’s been going since the year 2000, and has news, views and reviews for Computing and ed tech teachers — and useful tips.
