Abstract
Two years ago I was sitting at my computer getting ready to update a course I was teaching in the next semester. I had taught this course once before and although the student evaluations were relatively good I personally felt the class needed a complete overhaul. The source of my discomfort was the fact that I had inherited an iconic course from a legendary professor and was tasked with putting it online – a rough place to start teaching a new class. Despite my knowledge and instincts the rst semester I basically just took the content and moved it to an online format without front lining anything of myself or my own knowledge. In online teaching it can be extremely seductive to teach a course that is already built, making minor changes.
