managing online class materials effectively

The Problem

• Creating a new file each session → students can't find materials later.
• Chat logs full of links but everyone loses track.

Solution: A Shared "Whiteboard" for the Whole Course

1. Create one Google Slides/Docs file for the entire course.
2. Add a new page each session with clear date/month labeling.
3. Record: main content, exercises, attending students, supplementary links.
4. Paste images, notes, and student answers directly into the file.

After class, send the same single link—students know exactly where to look. After a few months, you have a complete "course notebook" ready to reuse for future cohorts.
