Review: The Canisius Way
Online Faculty Development Course
It's worth reviewing the guidelines for online and hybrid Canisius courses we looked at last week. In general, having students revisit bits of coursework, especially core concepts or content, from earlier in a course is a great idea. This is a part of a classic teaching strategy called "spiral curriculum."

The Inclusive Syllabus Template
Over the years, Canisius University faculty and staff have assembled the Inclusive Syllabus Template. This is a great resource for syllabus-building, as instructors need not write a lot of their policies and lists of resources for students from scratch. More importantly, it also helps us create courses that support an inclusive Canisius community, whether on-campus or online.
(For OFDC participants, you will revisit this resource in the course Weekly Activity, and can read it more thoroughly at that point.)
