CTL Resources: Getting Ready for the Fall

August 3, 2021

Allison Lehr Samuels, Director, Baruch Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)

The Center for Teaching and Learning is here to help you get ready for teaching this Fall!

Here are some ways to get started:

Sign up for a one-on-one consultation
Follow the Teaching Online Course Prep Guide, which breaks down how to develop an online course over 4 weeks. This resource can help you whether or are teaching online, hybrid or in-person and can also be used to refresh your course.
Learn from your colleagues. Watch recordings from our CTL Faculty Innovations Showcase, a series of informal talks that highlighted teaching innovations that emerged or solidified in the transition to online teaching.
Review sample assignments and activities on Active Learning Strategies, TeachHybrid, and TeachOER.
Attend one of our upcoming workshops (schedule for Aug 2-16 listed below) and/or watch a recording of a previous event

Coming soon:

An updated “Teaching with Zoom Guide”
A “Student Guide to Online and Hybrid Learning” that faculty will be able to share with their students
