Keep Teaching Online!
Moving from teaching face-to-face to teaching remotely in a short period of time can be challenging. Here are some resources to help.
Keep Teaching Website
The Center for Teaching and Learning recommends that you begin by going to the keepteaching.iu.edu website. The website includes suggestions of what to think about first, strategies for accomplishing various instructional tasks online, guides for using instructional technology tools, and other resources.
Keep Teaching Webinars
Keep Teaching webinars designed to help you quickly move online may also be helpful. The webinars include topics such as Zoom for Instructors, Recording and Sharing Video using Kaltura, and Canvas Modules and Assignments. The complete list of webinars can be found here.
Faculty-to-Faculty Support
Our friends in FACET have provided a list of your faculty colleagues who are experienced in teaching online and willing to lend you a hand. If you or a group of colleagues want to get in touch with one of these volunteers, contact us in the CTL and we can arrange a meeting
Individual Consultations
If you would rather work individually with a consultant, the Center for Teaching and Learning will remain open virtually, but not physically. Submit a consultation request to schedule a phone or Zoom appointment.
Contact CTL
Please feel free to contact the CTL at (317) 274-1300 or thectl@iupui.edu for any other questions you may have.
Continuing Community Engaged Teaching During COVID-19
While you, our community, and our campus continue to work through the evolving nature of the impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we in the Center for Service and Learning (CSL) want to provide guidance for how to plan for community engaged work and teaching for the rest of this semester. Please see Resources for Supporting Community Engaged Teaching During COVID-19 for more information or reach out to the CSL faculty development team with any questions you may have or to set up a virtual consultation.

As we transition to online teaching for the rest of the semester, our students may also be finding themselves in a new learning environment. When you contact your students to provide updates and generally check in during this time, please share this informational resource that will help them get familiar with various online tools that could help them complete course requirements successfully.
Keep Learning is a self-enrolling online course on IU Expand that features information for students about the most commonly used technological tools in online courses, including options for attending lectures, completing assignments, taking tests and quizzes, and collaborating in groups. Encourage students to ask questions about the changes you will make to your course and consider their feedback as you pivot to effective online instruction.
