Abstract

Teaching online can feel isolating, with a lack of opportunity to share, discuss, and reflect on practices and pedagogy. Peer observation of teaching (PoT), a structured process whereby participants both offer and receive feedback on teaching practice, can be a way to overcome isolation, share practice and develop online teaching practices in the virtual university, and ultimately improve student learning. Building on the findings of an evaluation of PoT work with faculty in face-to-face contexts, along with feedback from faculty and educational developers on their experiences with, and perspectives on PoT in online contexts, in this chapter we identify factors for success when implementing PoT in the virtual university.
