Teaching Online?

A recent posting at Inside Higher Education by a psychology professor may speak to some of the challenges of teaching online courses. Amy Overman, fresh upon arrival as an assistant professor of psychology at Elon, agreed to teach a summer course between her first and second years. A little extra money? No problem, right? After all, summer was a long way off. She felt confident, despite limited experience teaching online.

Digital Storytelling

When I taught English, I loved to tell stories to my students about the lives of the poets and authors we were studying. I liked reading literary biographies anyway, so I figured I could add some depth to the curriculum. For example, when we studied Modern Poetry and figures such as Wallace Stevens, Hart Crane, and E.A. Robinson, I ended (or began…or both!) each day with a little tale from William Pritchard’s Lives of the Modern Poets.
