4. It depends on what the learning outcomes are

If you are assessing declarative or procedural knowledge, online works as well as face-to-face. If you are assessing behavior and skill development, face-to-face is usually better because it allows more effective coaching and feedback.

I really miss the student led class discussions and presentations in my senior capstone seminar (in college). Teaching asynchronous online is to me worse than teaching a large (100 plus) lecture class. It is literally taking the joy out of my work.

I am grateful though for the opportunity to teach safely from home but I am looking forward to getting back into my office and my classroom sometime later this year.
