Remote Teaching
During this time of physical distance, we recognize the incredible task facing faculty and instructors who need to adapt their courses quickly. Many courses are well-established, were never intended to be delivered this way, and benefit greatly from in person delivery.
While this situation poses a significant challenge, often without perfect solutions, it is also an opportunity to consider new approaches. This page is intended to help with the process of adapting existing in-person courses for remote delivery as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Adapting your course: a six-part guide

While it is presented in six parts, it is truly an iterative process. You will likely make "big picture" decisions as you go through the guides, but feel free to revisit, refine, and adjust as needed.
