Because online technical communication classes, as well as classes with several online components, are no longer a novelty, teachers must plan coursework and technology use to better meet students’ needs. To
improve my online teaching methods and plan future courses, I follow these guidelines: 1. Prepare students to use e-mail efficiently; 2. Prepare students to use the class chat room for meetings, office hours, and required
discussions; 3. Maintain a flexible assignment schedule
while enforcing the final deadline; 4. Help students gain
access to computers; 5. Develop pleasant working
relationships with technical support personnel; and
6. Develop course information for students with different
learning styles.
