Make Online Teaching Work for You! Small Strategies for Immediate Implementation
By Megan Fixen, The Scholarly Teacher blog
From Angelo State University
Bill Pelz (2009), a Professor of Psychology and Sloan Consortium Award for Excellence in Online Teaching winner,provides three principles of effective online pedagogy (p. 3):

Principle 1: Let the students do (most of) the work. The more time students spend engaged with the content, the more they will learn.
Principle 2: Interactivity is the heart and soul of effective asynchronous learning.
Principle 3: Strive for presence: social, cognitive, and teaching presence.
