Teaching Online: Best Practices Compendium
We encourage faculty, especially Emory College faculty, to first and foremost begin with their school-specific information and resources to transition to online classes.
During the COVID-19 outbreak and the large-scale move to online teaching and learning, Emory and other schools are generating a lot of advice about moving your courses online. Here are some of the most useful pages we’re seeing:
- The CFDE’s specific advice about moving various activities online (lecture, discussion, group work, oral presentations, exams, etc.) View low bandwidth .pdf version
- Keep teaching with Canvas (advice from Emory’s Teaching and Learning Technologies group) and a short Teaching with Technology PDF with specific quick how-to advice on Canvas features (from the CFDE)
- General advice about moving your course online, including “Keep it simple” (from The Scholarly Teacher)
- Inclusive practices, such as considerations about unequal access to technology (from Rice University’s Center for Teaching Excellence)
- Essential tools for remote teaching (a quick summary of Canvas & Zoom functions, from ECAS)
- Links to Discipline-Specific Advice
- Emory Libraries advice for remote library services
- Stanford document on “pedagogy in times of disruption” with specific Canvas and Zoom advice
- Copy of emails being sent to Emory students posted on Emory’s central COVID-19 update website
All of the above links should be broadly useful to a wide variety of courses.
