Online and hybrid courses have become an integral part of teacher education programs for preservice and inservice training. However, these programs can be intimidating to new faculty who must develop both pedagogical and technological skills in short order. The authors describe some strategies that have helped improve their online teaching and make their online courses be more effective. Some of the practices include persistent presence, discussion boards, weekly video messages, problem-solving climate, scaffolding, inverted classroom, and use of organizational modules.
