FLO: Teaching Online
Course description
Teaching Online is a new online workshop designed to outline the key things you need to know when teaching online. It will help you:
- with practical advice on how to enact key online teaching practices to ensure an interactive and engaging learning experience; be an active teacher; be socially present; communicate with students; assess and give feedback
- get familiar with the learning technology pillars that support online learning: FLO, online readings, Collaborate and video
- take steps to ensure that you have optimised your FLO site for students who may be experiencing low bandwidth (FLO technical checklist)
- work through the process of converting your on-campus topic to online (considerations for converting to online).
You have three options for doing this workshop.
- Take it online at your own pace (see below for how to access the site).
- Attend a synchronous workshop via Collaborate (enrol for an 'Upcoming event')
- Attend a face-to-face workshop* (enrol for an 'Upcoming event').
*If you decide to attend a face-to-face workshop, please bring a laptop or device if you have one.
Experience from recent workshops tells us that installing the Kaltura Desktop Recorder during the workshop can be time consuming. If you’re interested in following along on your own device, we recommend that you consider installing the Kaltura Desktop Recorder before you attend the session.

As you work your way through Teaching Online, you can either work in your existing topic site or a sandpit to try out the suggestions in this workshop. If you don’t have a sandpit you can request one from your eLearning support team (via Service One) or get one set up at the workshop you attend.
The content in Teaching Online is structured in list form for quick access to material that meets your needs. Each module outlines how you can use learning technology to facilitate online learning, why you would use each tool, key messages to bear in mind, and how-to guides. Teaching Online also contains links to help, support and additional resources. It’s also a good source of information to revisit, as you need it.
