Hi Umar,

I am going to go out on a limb here, and do a bit of self-promotion also.  Years ago, in the ancient days, I had an article published about the online class I designed for an information literacy. I believe that teaching online requires an entire new mindset. So I am suggesting a short read of my 2010 article, free and online here:

Unlearn What You Have Learned: Digital Disorganization and Information Learning Instruction
https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/comminfolit/vol4/iss1/3/

Maybe this will get your creative juices going for your own work.

Subject: [Facnet-l] Question about Zoom policy

Greetings,

I am teaching a graduate seminar that I’m teaching online for the first time, and I wanted to enquire if any faculty that have similar , discussion heavy, seminars and are requiring a “camera on” policy during a synchronous Zoom session. Since my course is heavily discussion and case discussion based, I tend to encourage participation and students voicing informed opinions, and POVs; it’s always been a challenge to try and get them to talk during an in-class session. However I feel it may be even harder to get a discussion going if I’m staring at blank Zoom screens, but students may have issues such as childcare, or lack of access to a camera. Has anyone fashioned a syllabus statement that addresses that and encourages a “Camera-on” policy, and yet (the policy) is mindful of student constraints?  Or should I not even ask for such a requirement?
