In response to the COVID-19 disruption, the Centre for Teaching and Learning has simplified our current Framework for Quality Online Courses. The intent is to help faculty move along the continuum from emergency remote teaching towards quality online teaching, by way of a simplified online teaching process, as illustrated in the graphic below:

Why Use This Process?


 

Workshops & Resources

A series of sequenced workshops have been designed to support this simplified process and will be offered during May and June. Visit the Simplified Online Teaching Series page for the workshop recordings.
