. For some people, it means alot of work and efforts preparing the best lecture possible in order to teach a course. It needs tobe understood that Online Learning should not be the same in every field. If we consider lecturesin the field of social sciences, they may require a big amount of graphs, pictures, tables, anddiagrams, in arts, they may require audio, high-quality images, and video. However, it is adifferent story when STEM courses are considered. Even between the fields that compose theSTEM area, there are remarkable differences between the teaching styles.
