New resources for a new term
If you are taking over the instruction of a print based course or delivering an online course for the first time, you may want to be aware of some of the resources to support your work in distance education.
Download the teaching tips for Online (pdf) or Print (pdf) for your reference. The Teaching Tips will provide you with sample communications for welcoming your students, links to the resources you will need to get started and suggestions for supporting learners.
You may also want to print the list of Key Contacts (pdf)for distance education. This will help you direct your concerns (or your students’) to the right person.

Finally, you will likely want to bookmark the DE Instructors’ Guide and Resources of the OLT website. Refer to it for information on exam invigilation (and other policies) to teaching resources (such as facilitating online discussion).
