Online Teaching Sample Clauses
The Online Teaching clause defines the terms and conditions under which teaching or instruction is delivered via digital platforms rather than in-person. It typically outlines the responsibilities of both instructors and students, specifies the required technology or software, and may address issues such as attendance, participation, and assessment in an online environment. This clause ensures that both parties understand their obligations and expectations in a remote learning context, thereby reducing misunderstandings and facilitating effective online education.
