As more tutoring and teaching moves increasingly online, it is important to maintain the same standards and practices that have best served teachers in face-to-face environments. This Writing Studio presentation will focus on best practices and pedagogy when working in synchronous online tutoring environments. Library resources on this topic include the following: Discussion-based online teaching to enhance student learning, theory, practice, and assessment; Online teaching in the digital age; and The online teaching survival guide: simple and practical tips. Additionally, the Exchange, the University’s technology resource center for GSU faculty and academic support staff, provides training and support in the technology used in online courses.
