There are definitely misconceptions about how difficult it is to teach online content, and I do agree that often those instructors who teach online only do not get the same level of recognition from institutions as face-to-face instructors get. I find it much more time-consuming to prepare for online instruction than it is for an in-person session. Instructors who successfully convert their content into active online lessons need to be recognized, and it would be great if these instructors were asked to share their experiences with all faculty, as more and more of the student experience is moved online.
