Faculty Colleagues and Teaching Assistants,
As all of us adjust to the new realities and challenges of online and remote instruction, our core jobs of promoting student learning have not changed even as our modes of instructional delivery have. To assist you in making the transition, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers you the following short documents:
- A Toolkit for Online Instructors – taken from Stanford’s Tomorrow’s Professor Listserv, the file provides a series of practical guidelines, and perhaps most importantly an inventory of activities, that can help you in the next two weeks as your courses are reconfigured.
- Tips for Moving to Online and Remote Instruction on Short Notice – from Dr. Beth Brunk-Chavez of the UT System Academy of Distinguished Teachers (UTEP), this set of tips and best practices is specifically designed for instructors who are adapting to the move online with little advance notice.
- Online Learning Readiness Survey Template – you might come up with terrific online materials and resources, but students won’t learn if they can’t access them or don’t understand how to use them. Remember that not all students have Wi-Fi access at home (some are even homeless) or have the technological sophistication to master some approaches. This file is a sample survey from Karen that you could revise and send to students in your classes via Qualtrics or other mechanisms.
See the Online Learning Readiness Survey as it appears to students (before edits).
To request access to the Online Learning Readiness Survey in Qualtrics so that you can save and revise it for your own purposes, please submit your name.
You can log in to Qualtrics with your UTD NetID to access the survey, revise it, distribute it, and see the results.
