This website has been developed to support Waterloo instructors who will be teaching remotely. Remote teaching is a form of online teaching, and is currently being used to replace face-to-face teaching. The website includes expertise from the Keep Learning team of CEL, CTE, IST-ITMS, the Library, and others.
Its focus is to provide support to instructors who are designing their own courses to teach online. These courses will be developed using a variety of strategies. Resources, workshops and assistance are available from the Keep Learning team. As with your face-to-face course designs, you continue to have the opportunity to make thoughtful and strategic decisions about the outcomes, activities, and assessments that work for your course content, your students, and your approach to teaching.
The site provides guidance and tools to support teaching online, including developing teaching and learning resources (e.g., lectures and readings) and adjusting practices (e.g., activities and assessments).
