51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Center for Advancing Student Learning (CASL)<\/a> has many opportunities for instructors to become more adept at online teaching. Teaching Assistants teaching online for the first time are strongly encouraged to consult CASL and their program about best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the educational learning specialist in the School of Education has curated a number of additional resources <\/a>for students and instructors to have an optimal online learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For synchronous online courses, instructors should consider including informing students of their rights and responsibilities related to recorded meetings and to maintaining confidentiality in online courses. Below is some sample language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I will alert you when we record any of the sessions. These recordings will be available only to other students in the course on Canvas and you will have the right to be informed when recording is starting or stopping and to turn off your camera when we begin recording.”<\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo protect privacy and confidentiality of other students in the course, no student is permitted to record the lectures or any class meetings on their own or to take and share screenshots of other people in the course.\u201d<\/blockquote><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"parent":334,"menu_order":19,"template":"","class_list":["post-377","handbook","type-handbook","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nOnline Teaching and Learning - Graduate Assistant Handbook<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/graduate-assistants\/handbook\/teaching-assistants\/online-teaching-and-learning\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Online Teaching and Learning\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Center for Advancing Student Learning (CASL) has many opportunities for instructors to become more adept at online teaching.
