Summer 2020: Online Initiative
Introduction
We need to be prepared to offer more courses on-line and through alternative deliveries. The CETL team has been working with partners from Information Technology, Polk Library, and others from all areas of campus to develop a series of workshops and resources to help you prepare for the upcoming semester. This series of sessions will cover four critical areas of course development for online instruction: planning; selecting materials and strategies; building in Canvas; and facilitating online and alternative delivery learning.
As a whole, this program provides ideas and tools to enhance student engagement as well as increase students' academic success. These trainings will infuse many of the high impact and best practices developed in online learning over the last decade into UW Oshkosh courses. As we continue to face the COVID-19 crisis, these practices can be delivered by instructors via any modality as required
