@PRSAEducators It was fun! Thank you for organizing this. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@PRSAEducators A 9 No question, it's here to stay because it meets certain needs of both universities and students. It's an online world and we're just living and teaching in it. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

@PRSAEducators A8 The same material is covered, but compressed into 8 weeks. It's intense, but students love the flexibility to travel and take classes. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@ksmarks @alevenshus My F2F and online classes are also same standards. Test grades about the same for both versions. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

@aiaddysonzhang A7 I include videos recorded by PR pros on various topics. Always looking for good recordigs of interviews, panels. Is there a way PRSA Educators could provide/share content?#PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

@redheadacademic A5 or 6? Agree. Students must accept greater responsibility for their own learning online. But for some the flexibility and ability to self-pace is an advantage.. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@PRSAEducators A5 They are different and serve different needs, but students can learn from both. They do like f-t-f contact when possible, though. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@alevenshus A4 I've not tried recorded feedback, but I'll bet students would like that personal touch. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@PRSAEducators One thing I do is send out a “how are you doing” email a few weeks into the class that invites student contact. I often hear back. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@PRSAEducators Students also like getting email reminders of deadlines, tests. #prprofschat

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

A3 Keep the course structure easy-to-follow, consistent. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

@redheadacademic 5 to 7 minutes. I have to talk fast! #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

Students like short audio recordings on specific topics, ie, media relations, crisis, employee comm, etc #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

[Polly Howes @pahowes]

I do voice overs and provide PDF of slides. Students like when they hear my dog in background #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching

A2 I use Camtasia to record lectures. I also record mini-lecture podcasts. #PRProfsChat and #onlineteaching
