A study conducted by Jennifer S. Hegeman found that integrating instructor-generated learning aids “not only placed a greater emphasis on conceptual understanding, but also positioned the course instructor prominently in the role of content provider, enhancing the course instructor’s teaching presence in the online environment” (Hegeman, 2015, p. 84 ). Therefore, best practices will be identified, such as chunking information, providing assignment support, providing an opportunity for students to ask questions, and being a part of the dialogue throughout the course. The use of tools such as Blackboard Collaborate, Screencastify, Flipgrid, Perusall, and podcasting will also be addressed.
