LAW and POLICY

There's a difference between transitioning to remote instruction in a hurry (e.g., as a way to adapt during a pandemic) and developing a course that is meant to be online regardless of iteration. The resources below may help support either path, but remember, if the former, the goal is to keep it simple, for both you as an instructor and for your students. Navigating online instruction should always be relatively easy for students: there should be one platform to engage (e.g., a learning management system like Canvas, or an online learning platform like Coursera). However, if your course is temporarily online due to necessity, don't set the perfect online course as the goal; focus on learning outcomes and keeping the process as stress-free as possible for everyone involved.
