Teaching Online – Guidance for online and blended teaching

Faculty offers a wide range of guidance options. This guidance is intended to provide support to colleagues who have previously had limited experience of teaching remotely and guidance in producing online resources which meet a minimum service standard for our students. If you are already using software or eLearning technology in your teaching which meets or surpasses these levels of service then you should feel free to continue doing so.

Templates

Faculty has developed a range of templates to exemplify how you might want to use them to get your teaching materials for online delivery.

Templates are useful in a number of ways. They help provide a thread connecting student activities and content. Templates exemplify how you might like to promote active student learning and peer interaction online, ways to make teacher presence felt beyond uploading of files, as well as providing opportunities for students to gain feedback during contact time.

For further guidance see: How and Why should I Develop Online Materials
