Instructional Continuity

The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment at Chandler-Gilbert Community College is committed to supporting instructional continuity in the event of a disruption to normal campus teaching and learning activities. This resource site has been established to share important steps and resources in preparation for such an event. Check back regularly for updates.

​Essential Tools and Methods of REMOTE TEACHING to maintain instructional continuity

Post course material in Canvas

​Every course at CGCC has an automatically created Canvas shell that is linked to enrollments through SIS. Faculty can utilize the tools in Canvas to post lecture notes, presentations, links to library resources, and external web resources. Pages in Canvas can deliver static content while Assignments and Quizzes can be set up to conduct assessments online. Use Canvas Modules to organize content for the students in an easy to follow format.
MIGRATE INSTRUCTION INTO CANVAS
In the event that normal on-campus activities are interrupted, it is advisable that you migrate your course into Canvas.

​Visit: 
Migrate Instruction Into Canvas for step-by-step guidance.

Reimagine Your Course Material

​Consider recording yourself delivering a lecture for your students and then upload it to Canvas for students to view. Free, easy to use software such as Screencast-o-Matic can be used to record and upload lectures or narrated slide presentations integrated into Canvas.
Another option is to find online videos that can be used to support your instruction. YouTube videos or videos from news sources may be embedded into Canvas.

Conduct Asynchronous Discussions

Post discussion questions or prompts and ask students to respond to them within a set timeframe. Canvas Discussions are an excellent option for hosting your class discussion. Students can upload documents or images to discussion boards or use the built-in media recorder to post their responses in video or audio format. Discussion boards can be graded through Speedgrader and can include a grading rubric.

Meet Online

​Hold a live discussion or deliver a lecture during a synchronous class meeting using Webex. Webex supports both computer and mobile devices. Webex allows you to interact with your students in a virtual space where you can share your screen to show documents, slides, or web pages to your students. Webex Meetings can also be recorded.

Helpful tools

​You have many tools to teach online, and most of these tools are in Canvas. These tools can be synchronous and asynchronous. While synchronous tools can help you easily replicate what you do in the regular classroom, there might be content or activities that are better left in an asynchronous format, such as readings and discussions.
