The aim of this paper is to offer literature teachers at the tertiary level of education in Serbia an innovative method of teaching poetry online to university students by providing applicable guidance for the suitable organization of online poetry classes. We endeavour to demonstrate and explore the use of various online activities designed to meet different objectives that will enhance students’ understanding of the genre of poetry, trigger their motivation to study poetry, and change their perception of poetry from something perhaps too complex, inaccessible, and time-consuming to be properly analyzed and discussed to being still relevant and approachable in the digital age. For this purpose, we will use the poem “The Lady of Shalott” (1842) by Lord Alfred Tennyson, one of the most notable and prolific literary figures of one the most prosperous periods in the history of the British Empire – the Victorian Age.
