Description

The first of its kind, this e-book focuses exclusively on how faculty use different delivery formats, from fully asynchronous courses to those with required synchronous components, to teach psychology to diverse students matriculating in a range of academic programs and institutions. The majority of chapters focus on the intentional design and delivery of online psychology courses, though some chapters also offer interesting insights into how colleagues adapted their established on-ground psychology courses for remote delivery subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is organized into two sections. The first section is comprised of chapters discussing foundational courses, ones that often are required courses and are common to many undergraduate psychology departments. The second section focuses on elective and advanced coursework.
