[NOBE-L] Online Teaching?

[deafblindhope at gmail.com]

I have a K-12 private school that I operate using various formats including online. I do the online teaching using a couple of online curriculum sources available. Within these, I can create custom courses, too. We use Moodle for many things, and we use Ignitia by Alpha Omega for some students. We still do observed finals to satisfy accreditation standards in our state and region as we are accredited by the same as the public schools. 

Some independent teachers use these resources for tutoring homeschool students, too, though and seem to be successful financially. 

I personally find Ignitia and Moodle accessible including with braille. For students, Ignitia is including transcripts and and captions for videos now as well as text to speech.

> I teach online for two universities. I am happy to talk with you about how I work. Each university has its own procedures and ways of doing things. Some require that you teach courses that someone else has prepared in advance, and others allow you to develop your own course material. Learning management interfaces can differ somewhat in the way that the front end is designed, but most have accessibility options that are fairly good now and I have not had a problem with the two systems I have worked with. I am up front with students regarding blindness and this has not been a problem. I welcome their questions, though so far no one has asked anything.
> Please drop a line if you have further questions. I teach biblical languages and related courses. I would encourage you to interact with sighted colleagues in your field as well to learn about the general practices of teaching online in your field. In my field, not many people are teaching online, so I ended up doing my doctoral project regarding the experiences of students in the online Hebrew courses and the impact of teaching interventions on student success and satisfaction. The project is allowing me to make further contributions to my field in places that need new publications.
