"Journalism education, being heavily focusing on experiential learning and face-to-face interaction, is particularly challenged when it comes to remote teaching and learning. This manual aims to provide journalism instructors the resources to improve their teaching in digital spaces. The subject matter includes: planning a new online course from scratch or transitioning an existing face-to-face course to online delivery; strategies to curb academic dishonesty in online courses; creating a student-centered learning environment; ways to support diversity in the virtual classroom; the future of online journalism education, drawing on what the pandemic period has taught."
