you can't just transfer a F2F course online you have to transform it

instructors have lots of roles to fill as an online instructor

providing timely respones encourages student participation

communication & accessbility are key

We were forced to move classes online in two days due to COVID-19 and I wish I would have already had the knowledge of the tools we are using so that I could have taught the students how to use them before.

They are having to learning how to set up their online assignments and also do them at the same time.  Going on week 2 I think we all feel a little better than last week about it

The tool used should fit not only the function you're wanting it to do but also the teaching method the instructor is used to using
