Through instructors’ stories we found concrete examples of strategies for balancing workload that can fit a wide variety of settings and apply to many different contexts. You can find them in our book Managing Online Instructor Workload: Strategies for Finding Balance and Success.
You may identify with some of these stories, but many will be new to you. While some of the instructors in our examples are prioritizing their time in an efficient way, others are still discovering new ways to effectively manage their workload.
Next week, we’ll look at how to determine the types of course tasks for online teaching and how they can be accomplished within a design framework. For your online course, designing requires planning, intention, and design and an understanding of the online environment. By looking at workload from a design perspective, instructors can better manage and prioritize their time.
