To get courses online fast during the rapid transition to online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic, see below (it’s not ideal but will help us get through this challenging time).
Please consider that students are not in their normal or ideal work environments. Many are at home with low (or no!) wifi, low quality technology, and have many distractions that are hard to manage, not to mention close ones who may be ill. Large files and tight/inflexible deadlines become difficult.
Because effective online course design takes time, money, and a variety of expertise, ideally bring in some experts (e.g., from your institution’s Centre for University Teaching). There are some ideas further below.

So many great tips here about running online conferences.
Slack can work!
- Share your poster (pdf, png, etc.) and a short video (e.g., 2 min) in Slack, then have a real-time discussion (Zoom) and a slower one over time (via Slack).
- Zoom integrates with Slack so the presenter and audience can have a “face-to-face” time. For conferences, we like having one zoom link per presenter, but zoom breakout rooms are also an option. For classes, we prefer breakout rooms.
