Lessons Learned and Useful Strategies
Advanced preparation and careful lecture scenarios are important, though some ad hoc freedom in using visual tools is necessary. Have a pre-built set of images to share in whiteboard.
Involve students in presenting themselves (once they see that they can do it, it works!)
Re-create or maintain traditional channels of student-teacher interaction as much as possible.
Maintain all possible interaction channels active (e-mail, chat, whiteboard, DocReview, etc.)
Archive discussions, whiteboards, chats.
Meet with students face to face, at least couple times.
