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.
Think of moving your course online as adding online components to an otherwise in-person course. This does not have to be a complete overhaul of your course or full conversion to an online course. Think of this as temporarily transferring your regular class online, not as creating an online course.
With this in mind, think about how you teach in-person. There are many tools that can replicate the in-person experience online. In the Blackboard Course guide and this site, we have detailed several of these tools to move your in-person course online.
There is no one way to move your class online. Each class has its own learning outcomes, and each instructor has their own teaching style. You will have to consider which option will work for you, your students, and your course.
