Online Teaching Resources

Online instruction has grown significantly as a proven teaching and learning strategy and with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more important and relevant for us to consider best practices and strategies for online instruction. This page includes general resources that focus primarily on online instruction and course development.  The TLPDC staff are welcome conversations with you regarding online teaching and strategies for engaging your students. We also encourage you to visit the TTU eLearning page for additional information on instructional resources, Blackboard, and the Instructional Design Team. Additionally, we have another collection of resources specifically aimed at our shift to remote teaching due to COVID-19 in Spring, 2020. This page will continue to be updated with appropriate resources related to teaching in the pandemic.
