Tools for Remote Teaching, Learning & Working
Remote learning can help faculty delve deeply into how their students learn and engage with instructional materials. With the right tools, remote learning can assist faculty in prioritizing interactions with students, enabling necessary course adjustments.
And—whether due to an emergency, inclement weather, or a scheduled absence—it can help provide all-important continuity or recover lost class time.

Teaching Faculty
Faculty who are teaching remotely should maintain a Moodle presence. Most students on campus will be turning to Moodle to find instructional materials, online forums, assignments, quizzes and other activities. For a quick introduction to Moodle, faculty should review the Moodle: Bare Essentials for Remote Instruction site.
Further Moodle documentation, along with a faculty forum, is available in the Moodle Site Developers’ area.
Faculty may direct questions regarding Moodle or online instruction to Technology Enhanced Learning at [email protected] A listing of current faculty workshop offerings can be found on Technology Enhanced Learn’s Workshops page.
