Question to all my colleagues who find themselves teaching online for the first time: I’m writing a book on teaching the humanities online. What new or different thing are you interested in learning or seeing discussed?

I ask because there are lots and lots of great books about teaching online. What is the value-add of my particular book and perspective?

My theory is that what is unique is that I come at online learning from my experience in the classroom, as a faculty developer, as a digital humanist, as an instructional designer, as an academic technologists. They’re aren’t many of us who occupy that space.

It looks something like my foray into speculating about minimal computing, digital redlining, and online learning. But what’s being asked is something more practical. What do I bring to this conversation that hasn’t been heard but also *what is needed*?

(Oh i think one thing to address is the amount of labor, affective and otherwise, that goes in to this. Labor we are wholly unfamiliar with. Maybe just saying, it will be hard but it goes get easier the more you do it)
