Remote Teaching Options
The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) is committed to providing consultation and training opportunities that support our instructors’ teaching methods and techniques. We strive to provide innovative tools and technology resources that support student success through an engaged and collaborative learning environment.
Go Virtual!If the campus were to close for unforeseen reasons, would you have a back-up plan for teaching your face-to-face classes? Even a one or two session interruption could impact the semester and cause you to reorganize your course’s syllabus. Quickly moving your class from on-campus to online would help with communication and successful continuation of the class. Offered on this site are options for remote teaching. Choose the path that suits your needs best: Go Virtual, A Mixed Model or New to D2L (Desire to Learn or Brightspace). First, the Pre-Check |
Review your Course SyllabiStudents will have questions as a result of the immediate change in class structure. Reviewing your course syllabus will help to identify which assignments, projects and lectures can quickly be moved to the online environment. Also, think about any scheduled in-person activities that may need more time to prepare. |
Create a Communication PlanStudents may have many questions about how to contact you, what to expect, and other changes in the course. You should communicate early and frequently with your students, cultivating a sense of your presence in the online environment. Identify how students can communicate with you and provide virtual hours to assist the students. |
Stay ConnectedStaying connected as much as possible is important so that you are aware of decisions and directions made by key members of the university community. Additionally, students are likely to reach out via email to get help with challenges brought on by the sudden change in class structure or a difficulty in using/learning a new resource. |
Identify Student ExceptionsBegin thinking about what needs will surface regarding your student’s submission of coursework. Each student’s situation will be different. Be as flexible as the situation will allow. |
