Strategies for Finding Balance and Success

 

In our book, Managing Online Instructor Workload: Strategies for Finding Balance and Success (Conceição & Lehman, 2011), we discuss four strategies based on four major themes that emerged from an instructor/learner study we conducted:

1.    design strategies 

2.    support strategies

3.    teaching strategies

4.    time-allocation strategies

 

The focus of these strategies is to help instructors determine how they can manage their workload and prioritize their time to find balance and success in their work and personal life.

Once an instructor becomes experienced with online teaching, managing time should become a natural part of workload. The workload strategies we discuss can help by serving as guidelines for practice. In the next weeks, we will focus on the four strategies. Stay tuned!
