When teaching asynchronous courses online, I learned quickly how important it is to provide clear instructions and details on course materials for the students to understand what is expected of them. Beyond that, I have found it very valuable to check-in with my students over a brief zoom session or phone call, once a semester to review their progress on important assignments and understanding of the course content. Students in our program come from different educational and career backgrounds, with different levels of knowledge. These real-time meetings provide an opportunity for enhanced communication and clarity, particularly for students who are new to the nutrition field. I have also recognized that group work among students has been an effective tool for online learning. Utilizing discussion boards, wikis and shared google docs has encouraged collaborative learning and development of communication skills.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sotiria Everett, EdD, RD, CDN, CSSD is a Registered Dietitian and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Family, Population and Preventive Medicine\u2019s Nutrition Division at Stony Brook University.
