Remote Teaching Webinars

We created a series of webinars to assist with the transition from face-to-face to online teaching as effectively as possible. The sessions were recorded and are shared here. These recordings are intended as introductions to the process of moving a course online. As such, they focus on the learning technologies available for developing a virtual learning environment.

Strategies for Moving Online

We recommend this introduction as a starting point for how to move from face-to-face to online teaching. In this 60-minute webinar, we discuss how to effectively communicate with your students, the range of ways you can deliver content online, and how to assess in an online environment. There are many ways to teach online; let us help you make the best decisions for your specific course and teaching needs.
