Preparing for A New Semester

The IDEA Team has been busy preparing some resources we hope you will find helpful as you consider:

• Moving Online: Synchronicity Guide: how to translate face-to-face activities to an online, synchronous or asynchronous environment 

• (interactive PDF full of links to more info)

• a 10 module self-paced mini-course orientation in Blackboard on virtual teaching strategies and technology training materials

And here are a couple great resources from others:

• Delivering Remote Edu in place of Seated Edu: What and How (U at Buffalo SSW)

• A handy guide to engagement with students online, from the UMB Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning

• And this short video featuring students discussing their take on live class sessions with Zoom/Collaborate: what is useful, helpful and not so much...

So lots of moving to do. Moving online. We're moving on out, like Eddie Harris: 

But really, if you'd just like to have a conversation about some aspect of your class, digital tools for teaching and learning, teaching online or etc. - please reach out to ideateam@ssw.umaryland.edu
