“KnowYourProfessor is a website to help college students from all
over the United States share information and opinions of their
college professors, and to make an informed decision before selecting
which professors to take!”
Wouldn’t YOU rather inform your students about you and your classes?
And have an opportunity to:
• Build trust with your students.
• Establish a class culture that involves students.
• Convey who you are.
• Provide links to online student support services.
• Communicate expectations and class requirements in advance.
...before they enroll!
• Enrolls in multiple classes (often mixing online & F2F)
The Online Student Reality
• Risks overloading oneself.
• ~60% of online CCC students are age 24 and under.
• Often underestimates the realities of online learning.by
