If the university closes due to unforeseen circumstances, moving your class online is a great way to ensure minimal disruptions to the learning experience. We have created this site as a companion site to the Blackboard Course to help you through this process- from planning to execution. LEARN MORE about faculty preparedness to maintain instructional continuity.
We’ve heard loud and clear that it is very important to our students that faculty create productive in-class spaces to process the election.

A teaching portfolio provides in-depth documentation of teaching that will allow you to showcase and contextualized your teaching, situated within your department, school, and field. To that end, we encourage you to first speak with the chair of your teaching unit or refer to your departmental guidelines on how to construct your portfolio. Review CTRL’s Teaching Portfolio Guide.
The Center for Teaching, Research, and Learning (CTRL) staff have prepared these guides to help you create more accessible materials for your classroom and beyond. LEARN MORE about accessibility resources for faculty.
