DESCRIPTION
T.E.L.L. is a new series of lunchtime webinars held on the last Tuesday of the month to provide an opportunity for members to present workshops and share materials they've developed to a wider community, the ETUG community. The session, "Strategies for Effective and Efficient Course Design and Online Teaching", was facilitated by Amanda Coolidge, Instructional Designer at Royal Roads University and Chair of the Steering Committee for ETUG. Amanda gave great ideas for time saving course design strategies including: - Provide a detailed course outline/overview to clearly communicate expectations - Provide a set of frequently asked questions or FAQs - Identify assignment turnaround - Identify more demanding periods of the course http://etug.ca/2012/01/24/t-e-l-l-tuesdays-with-etug-lunch-n-learn-webinars/TRANSCRIPT
