In the Spring of 2020, most educational institutions are rapidly having to convert to online education. Suddenly, instructors are no longer in the same physical space as their students. Separated from their students and colleagues, they are having to adjust their teaching approach rapidly, and are most likely learning as they go. This ubiquitous incorporation of technology is an enormous shift from normal operations, one that includes significant challenges such as an overtaxed technological infrastructure, students' disorientation, and fear, and instructors' learning curve. The current situation is challenging; however, when it is over, institutions of higher education will have the opportunity to reflect on their implementation of effective teaching practices that facilitated continuity and quality of instruction. There cannot be one online program or practice that will serve all students' needs equally well. It is imperative, therefore, to ensure that instructors are engaging and inclusive in their teaching approach and that the needs of all students are being met. These ten tips have been created for the rapid transition of university level courses to an online format in light of the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020 and to assist instructors in preparing themselves in offering an optimal and successful online learning experience for all.
