Remote Teaching Resources
Strategies for Transitioning to Remote Teaching
- Think about how course learning goals can be met in the online format rather than trying to reproduce your classroom activities exactly.
- Consider changing assessments like quizzes and in-class exams to take home tests or papers
- Please be accommodating with your students who may have difficulty accessing online content from their homes.
- Ask for help! We have great colleagues at SXU, and people are willing to help.
