Intended Audience: Faculty, Instructors, Graduate Student Instructors, Academic Support Staff
In this 30-minute workshop, you’ll learn small, practical steps to digitize components of your in-person course—steps that improve student access, support their learning outside of class, and boost instructional resilience. In a teaching and learning landscape shaped by frequent and unpredictable disruptions, adding even a few online elements can make a meaningful difference.
We’ll explore five easy entry points, from uploading a pre-recorded lecture to scaffolding assignments online and building community outside the classroom. Bring your ideas—and any obstacles you’re facing—and leave with inspiration, practical examples, and actionable strategies for integrating digital elements that support your students while preserving the heart of your in-person teaching.
This session will run for 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
