I have.  It was really hard, but it can be done. I will probably do it as a grad class  in the future.  I made videos of important lectures.  They were short, because I don't usually rely on lectures a lot.  I usually try to interact with students and the material during class time, and that is hard to re-create online. I wound up collecting all their homework so I could see what the problem areas were. Then I would try to write out explanations by email.  One thing that was difficult is that I use certain formatting for analyzing parts of speech and clauses, and it doesn't always stick when sent out via email. I guess one important thing to do is keep reminding them of what is due and what the expectations are both online and by email.

Subject: On-line Teaching of an Introductory Grammar Course

Fellow Grammarians,

Has anyone out there taught an on-line grammar course?

We're under increasing pressure to offer every course taught by the English Department on-line. Your school may be exerting similar pressure.

Any help would be appreciated.
