Facilitating an online course involves more than just managing content. It requires consistent communication, proactive student support, and an ongoing instructor presence. Whether you’re welcoming students to a new semester or providing feedback throughout the term, thoughtful facilitation can improve student engagement and success.
We’ve created a practical Facilitation Checklist to guide you through each phase of the teaching process – before, during, and after your course. It includes reminders for communicating with students, maintaining your presence, supporting student success, and closing out your course effectively.
