Andersen, who has been teaching remotely for a decade, sees a certain irony in the sudden demand that adjuncts pick up distance education skills on the fly. Under normal circumstances, she’s found that full-time instructors tend to lay first claim to online courses, leaving few for adjuncts to take.
In one focus group I attended, faculty members recommended that online courses include real-time sessions, that the school stream on-campus lectures and events to remote students, and that faculty establish a uniform and consistent online courseevaluation rubric following industry best practices.
This student-centered approach to learning was designed to be project- and skills-based, and integrated an appreciative inquiry framework. Project-based learning with a focus on developing transferable skills also emphasizes asking questions that motivate students to focus on central concepts and principles concerning their discipline.
Pro tip: Multiple times throughout the course, encourage students to provide anonymous feedback on the course content and structure and be responsive to their suggestions. Final Thoughts Building connections with students isn’t magic; it’s a skill that takes time and effort. link] Michael, E., Benner, G.
Although institutions have all moved toward online, official courseevaluations, why not use this last class to get and give feedback of a different sort? Be clear that it isn’t about what they “like” but the ability of the assignment to help them develop learning skills and master the material. Get and give useful feedback.
Regarding needs common to all students, they long for a sense of belonging while facing this new academic challenge, require strong adaptive skills to deal with the obstacles that come with attending college, and require clear and attainable resources to guide them through this adaptation process.

Just as a chef with pre-developed culinary skills meticulously selects ingredients and carefully plans before creating a masterpiece, educators must equip students with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for their academic success.

In addition to serving as a discussion starter and an incentive to connecting ideas, the technique of afterthoughts encourages independent student thinking, as they link course-related ideas and connect them to the world beyond. For those who don’t volunteer, the technique at least models such behavior.
A few teachers have been known to do the same—blame the students, the department, courseevaluations, research requirements, low pay, large classes, online courses. Is the ability to confront oneself a skill? Can it be learned? Can it be taught?
