Transition-Online

Transitioning Your Class to Online:

We will provide some guidance on what you can be doing to work with your students in providing a communication plan, uploading material and teaching online.  We are not going to train anyone during this time to be a master online instructor.  Time will be spent in conducting an inventory of what you already have and developing a plan moving forward.  Reviewing your syllabus for the remainder of the semester will be an important part of your inventory.
