Hi Melodie- I'm relatively new to teaching cataloging online myself (I've taught both online and f-2-f courses) and some things that worked good for me teaching the distance method are: 1.) provide scans of title pages and versos so students actually see the chief & prescribed sources of information 2.) give quizzes through a distance learning program that lets them retake quizzes several times so that they learn the correct answers if they do get any wrong 3.) set up a discussion section in the distance learning program for Q&A and plan to participate heavily in it Also, check out Koha-with-Class provided by LibLime, as they host an ILS that you can have students catalog records into http://liblime.com/projects/koha-with-class/for-instructors/about If you have the ability to stream/videocast/webinar your presentations, I would suggest going that route...that's my next venture.

All, I've been teaching the intro class as an adjunct for almost 9 years now (!!) and am about to teach my first half online half live class. Having never taught at ALL online (and having wondered even how doable it is for this particular topic) I thought I would check here and see if anyone has any basic tips to offer - or things to avoid. I'm not looking for anyone to do my work for me ;) but thought if those who have done the online version had anything to suggest it would be most welcome!! Thanks!!
