The Center for Teaching Excellence is here to support faculty who may be migrating course content for online course delivery.
There are two sources of one-on-one consultation available to faculty:
- Instructional Design Services (IDS), and
- CTE affiliated graduate students from the Department of Instructional Design and Technology (CTE-IDT).
The IUP IDS office will offer D2L and Zoom workshops and consultation (both in-person and via Zoom) opportunities for faculty and teaching associates. CTE encourages faculty who have online teaching experience to co-facilitate the D2L and Zoom workshops with the IDS specialists.
Faculty needing individual consultation or technical support from IUP IDS should log these requests into ihelp.
In addition to the Reflective Practice Online Teaching Circle's web page that includes IUP faculty-generated best practice recommendations and resources, CTE has identified a variety of key articles and websites that may assist your expedited transition. Faculty please help us to add to this list by submitting resources that you have found helpful to teaching-excellence@iup.edu.
Please also be aware that IUP Instructional Design Services has numerous resources, including “How To” videos on topics such as D2L, Zoom, and accessibility for differentiated instruction.
