When you migrate your face to face class to online, you should have the same learning objectives and outcomes in both classes.
In other words, if I was teaching a face to face Freshman Composition class, I would have class lectures, group projects, class discussions, tests, exams, and papers. Similarly, when I teach that same class online, I would have these same elements just adapted to an online classroom.
Class lectures can be changed online to chunking video lessons, or written class lecture transcripts, discussions with students can be transferred to discussion forums, group projects can be transferred to wiki's, Google documents or forums. Papers, tests and quizzes can be done online under the assignment or test and quizzes portal.
Some classes are hybrid where teachers teach part of their class in a classroom, and some online so you get the best of both worlds. Many face to face teachers who have never taught online before should try experimenting with teaching a hybrid class to get a feel of what it is like to teach in an online classroom.
Here are some ways you can convert your traditional classroom elements into an online environment.
