When transitioning a course from F2F to online it is important to organize the information well and select what is most important "need to know" to provide short lectures that emphasize this content. It is also important to be consistent in how materials are organized so students become familiar with where to find what they need. Presenting yourself as an instructor, both at the beginning and throughout the course, in a way that helps students connect with you helps the student feel welcomed and more present in the course.
