Transition to Online Teaching

Given the changing landscape of university education and the transition from core on-campus teaching to core blended/online teaching delivery, it was important for me to establish a plan to help manage this process to continue to deliver impactful and engaging teaching content in a structured way.

I devised a plan for the transition considering the current impact of global matters such as Covid-19 and the need to dismantle structural racism and create an inclusive learning environment.

This plan became the subject for my ‘Review by a Tutor’ element of my Teaching and Learning portfolio, due to the social distance restrictions imposed in 2020 which meant that an in-person observation would have no longer been feasible within the required timeframe for submission.

Here is the framework for my transition plan:
