If students or instructors are unable to meet on campus, due to illness, campus closures, or weather-related events, these tools can help us continue to connect with each other for teaching and learning. Rutgers IDT will be available to support our faculty (call 856-225-6090 or email idt@camden.rutgers.edu).
For most classes, asynchronous tools (i.e., not requiring participants to be online simultaneously) will be easier to implement and more robust in case of widespread disruptions. We recommend considering these tools first.
We’ve also offered a series of webinars for faculty featuring some of these topics and tools. View recordings of our remote teaching support webinars here.
If you don’t have one of these tools in your Canvas or Sakai site currently, but aren’t sure how to add new tools, you can use the following instructions:
