The ASC distance learning syllabus template is designed for instructors throughout the College of Arts and Sciences. It includes the ASC distance learning syllabus template, student resources, and duplicable weekly module, as well as a guide for instructors on using the template effectively.
This resource can be applied to existing courses or used when developing new courses to support and strengthen your students’ experience in Carmen. The goal of the template is to aid instructors by describing ways to enhance page readability, module organization, and accessibility that improve student outcomes, as well as providing a ready-made toolkit faculty can use as they create content in Carmen.
These resources were created in partnership with the college’s marketing and communications office and technology services to create a set of resources responsive to the needs of Arts and Sciences faculty by drawing on the expertise in our college.
