How do I move my course from face-to-face to online?

To change from a face-to-face class to online, you should do the following:

  1. Review your course activities and resources
  2. Identify which activities and resources you'd like to keep as is
  3. Identify which activities and resources you will need to change for the online environment.

You may need to alter your resources or activities to run well online. Additionally, you will need to choose which activities to run synchronously and which to run asynchronously. For help identifying the best course of action for your course, see Steps 2 and 3 of the Academic Continuity Plan. For those activities/resources you will change, you should consider how they will be presented in an online environment. 

  • For resources, upload the files and/or add hyperlinks to your course site.
  • For activities, choose the activity/resource type and include an activity title, directions, and grading information. 

Will I need to update my syllabus?

Once you choose which resources and activities will remain in your course in an online format and have updated your online course site, you will need to update your syllabus with those course changes. Upon completion, upload the new syllabus file to your course site. Be sure that the syllabus file is a .doc, .docx, or .pdf. Avoid saving/uploading the file as a .rtf or .pages. These file types are not accessible on every device. 

How should I notify my students of course changes?

Once you have moved your content to your online course and updated your syllabus, please notify your students of the changes. You may use either Moodle Quickmail or your UNW email for communicating with your students. You may use the announcements feature on your course site in addition to Quickmail or email, but be aware that students may have Moodle notifications turned off and may not see the announcement(s).
