Monday Mentor: What Are Practical Solutions for Managing My Online Teaching Workload?
Monday, October 12, 2026
Available through Sunday, October 18
Instructor workload is a definite concern for instructors teaching online courses. Both the development and facilitation of online courses can be work-intensive; however, the workload related to developing and teaching online courses doesn’t need to be overwhelming.
This 20-Minute Mentor will explore a variety of practical solutions instructors can use to manage the workload of online teaching.
Learning Goals:
- Identify ways to take into account workload considerations while planning and developing online courses.
- Explain how the strategy of assigning less work could have a significant impact on instructor workload.
- Describe how using certain feedback strategies to assess student work can positively influence instructor workload.
- Pinpoint course development and facilitation practices that may be consistent “time stealers” and explore how to rectify those.
- Understand the benefit of not “recreating the wheel” when developing and teaching online courses.
Offered by Magna's 20 Minute Mentors. Lehman Faculty register for a free account here.
These practical and informative sessions are tailored to higher education faculty. Released each Monday, these videos are available to watch at your convenience for one week.
