Being an Online Educator

We have already talked a lot about the foundational aspects in Unit 1. In this unit, we will focus on the praxis of teaching online, where we take the theory and apply it to practice. And we have divided this unit into two sections based on the categories we introduced in Unit 2 What’s Online: Defining and Designing Digital Learning Spaces from this book, as well as what is described in further detail in Section 3 in the guide, BCIT Guide to Planning your Course (Re)development for Online Delivery ^[1]:
