Title: Teaching Online
Some suggestions from someone who's teaching her first course online:
1.  Put several questions for discussion on the Discussion Board, and ask them to post more questions from current news on that week's topic.
2.  Use a couple of points that are posted on the Discussion Board for the test...that way, they'll actually READ the discussion board posts.  (I had to put them on the next week's test, since some students took the test early in the week.)
3.  If you use PowerPoint in your regular classroom lecture, have the instructional designer put links for them online.

I have been asked to develop online courses in statistics and in research methods. Does anyone have any experience with teaching online classes, especially these? What are good sources of information about teaching online? What are best practices and pitfalls?
I  would appreciate any help with these questions.
