Online Teaching Resources Available at NOVA Libraries

If you’re ready to level up your online teaching and learning skills, the library has resources that you can use in your online classes and for your professional development.

A recent Chronicle of Higher Education article, “How I’m Spending My Pandemic Summer Vacation,” highlighted several books on the topic of online teaching, many of which we have available in our library catalog as eBooks. Titles include Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes by Flower Darby and Minds Online: Teaching Effectively With Technology by Michelle D. Miller. If you’d like to recommend a book or another resource about online teaching, the campus libraries are happy to consider purchase suggestions. (https://www.nvcc.edu/library/suggest.html)
