Abstract

In spring 2020, the COVID-19 required educators to make a quick shift to online education. The authors of this article are members of the Academy of Legal Studies in Business who recognized that there would be an increased emphasis on online education during the 2020-21 academic year and possibly beyond. The authors put together a panel where they shared with the membership techniques on getting a good start to online courses, humanizing the online course with discussion boards and other activities, preparing videos for asynchronous education, and increasing student engagement with gamification techniques. The authors also recommended tools for educators with limited experience to online education. This article is a summary of the tips presented during that panel.

Keywords: online pedagogy, hybrid courses, online courses, student engagement, gamification
