Extracted Content: In the process of developing online courses with instructors, we have constantly found that many instructors have a hard time translating the creative and interactive activities they have built for their face-to-face classes to an online learning context. Lacking a creative way to make the transition, some online instructors substitute these interactive learning activities with additional readings and formative assessments. Instructors’ reluctance to create interactive learning activities in online learning environments are due, in part, to the static layout of the learning management system (LMS), as well their unfamiliarity with best practices of engaging online learning environment.
