The University Senate has passed a resolution that calls for a day of asynchronous learning on November 5, 2024. While the decision on how best to present your material is yours, instructors who are interested may be wondering how to effectively transition to asynchronous delivery. We have compiled a short list of resources and suggestions to help you with this process:

• Record lecture in advance of class and use tools such as Mediasite or ThingLink to add interactivity
• Assign a course reading utilizing Hypothesis to allow learners to learn, comment, and ask questions to each other or the instructor as they read
• Consider offering low-stakes exercises that have been created in advance, utilizing Carmen pages or quizzes, perhaps engaging learners with branching scenario activities
• Encourage students to select and visit a relevant site and reflect

You can explore our additional resources for more ideas and helpful tips as you are thinking about how to design or present asynchronous content.

If you are interested in further exploring online delivery or need assistance, we encourage you to request a consultation with an instructional designer for individualized support.
