Question
How can I prepare to offer classes in the event of a closure?
Answer
We highly recommend accessing and utilizing the resources we have to serve students from remote locations by providing access to your courses through the D2L Brightspace learning management system. In anticipation of this, we have developed a D2L shell for all courses being offered in Spring Semester.
For those of you less familiar with D2L we have developed a webpage to guide you in facilitating your courses remotely: https://www.stcloudstate.edu/provost/faculty-resources/remote-classes.aspx. Included at the site is access to Zoom to allow synchronous course engagement.
In addition to the tutorials provided in the website, we have learning technology and course design experts available to assist you and your students: https://www.stcloudstate.edu/online/contact.aspx.
The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning has also developed a page with resources for moving classes online.
