AU Instructor Toolkit for Emergency Remote Instruction

As the Augusta University community is continuing to recover from Hurricane Helene, AUO and CII are collaborating to provide support to faculty in the use of D2L, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Echo 360.

Accessing D2L

Ideas to Make up Missed Instructor Contact Hours:

1. Discussions (asynchronous via D2L)
2. Zoom Session
3. Microsoft Teams Session
4. Echo360
5. Audio Lectures (including podcasts)
6. Pre-Recorded Lecture 
7. Quizzes (with Instructor Feedback)
8. Faculty-Facilitated Group Work

For a more comprehensive list, use this link to visit CII's direct instruction website.

These tools within D2L can help facilitate use of D2L but cannot be considered "Instructor Contact Time."

• Communicating with Your Students (Announcements and Emailing Students via D2L)
• Adding Content to Your D2L Course
• Assignments
• AU's Brightspace by Desire2Learn Resource Site (Academic Technology Support)

Are You Planning to Return to the Classroom?
