Online Faculty Development Course
In this lesson we'll explore (or review) some fundamentals of course design. This includes some tools helpful for designing college classes generally, together with special considerations for online or hybrid courses, and teaching at Canisius University.
If winter weather cancels classes on campus, the professor teaching an online course isn't scrambling to modify her course plan or syllabus.
