Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has offered many lessons for educators as this event has disrupted the lives of all students and teachers across the world. As all learning moved to some form of online instruction in early 2020, teachers and schools scrambled to modify current courses to move online and then to later design face-to-face courses to an online format. This shift to virtual instruction has not been easy, particularly for those teachers with little online teaching experience and for those courses that have not traditionally been offered online. This chapter offers some advice based on the author's experiences as well as an exploration of the current research, which suggests the best practices for online learning. It also offers three short cases that represent learning experiences that have helped shape the author's beliefs and actions.
