Online Learning Insights
Picture
I launched Online Learning Insights (OLI) in 2011 as a blog about open and online education; to date (mid-2015) it has received over 1 million page views.  My aim was to create resource for educators teaching online looking for support and skill development.  I saw the need when I worked as Lead Curriculum Designer for online studies at a private university.  In response, I started a weekly newsletter for faculty teaching online with tips on how to engage students, establish a sense of presence, provide feedback to students and more. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive. I started sharing similar ideas for skill development and resources through blog posts on Online Learning Insights.
