"Research Committee Issues Brief: Examining Communication and Interaction in Online Learning"

Online teaching is a complex professional practice. In addition to their content knowledge and pedagogical skill, online teachers must be qualified in methods of teaching the content online and have experience in online learning.
This webinar examines some of the aspects of online teaching, specifically those related to communication and interaction, as outlined in the Research Committee's Issues Brief on "Examining Communication and Interaction in Online Teaching". This examination draws guidance from the literature on quality online teaching, school policies regarding online teaching practices, and professional development programs for online teachers.
