Record the session and save it to Panopto so students who cannot attend live can access it later.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>If asynchronous:<\/strong> Record a brief lecture or overview video using Panopto and post it in Canvas. Even a short 5 minute video maintaining your presence goes a long way for students.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Post any slides, readings, or materials students will need directly in Canvas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Assessments and Grading<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If a graded in-class activity or exam was planned, post an alternative in Canvas Assignments or Canvas Quizzes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use Canvas SpeedGrader to provide written or audio feedback on student submissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider using a rubric in Canvas to streamline grading and provide consistent feedback.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Office Hours<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Move your office hours to Zoom for the duration of the disruption and post the Zoom link and updated hours in a Canvas Announcement or on your Canvas course homepage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Monitor Workloads and Expectations<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember to keep your workload expectations consistent with what you would have covered in a normal class session. A common and understandable mistake during emergency pivots is assigning additional work to compensate for lost class time, but this increases student stress and cognitive load without improving learning outcomes (Sweller, 1988). When in doubt, do less, and do it well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"syllabus\">Syllabus Course Continuity Statement<\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended that you include a statement like the following in your syllabus at the start of each semester so students know what to expect in the event of a disruption.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In the event of an emergency, course requirements, deadlines, and grading percentages are subject to change when necessitated by revised course delivery, semester calendar, or other circumstances. Information about changes in this course can be obtained on the Canvas course page or by contacting me at [your email address]. If the course is not able to meet face-to-face, students should immediately log onto Canvas and read any announcements and\/or alternative assignments. Students are also encouraged to continue readings and other assignments as outlined on this syllabus or any subsequent communication.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sync\">Synchronous or Asynchronous?<\/h2>\n<p>When shifting to remote instruction, one of the first decisions to make is whether to hold class synchronously via Zoom or to provide asynchronous activities. Use the following guidance to help you decide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Choose Synchronous &lpar;Zoom&rpar; If&colon;<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your class is scheduled at a time when most students are expected to be available.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The content for that session benefits from live discussion, demonstration, or interaction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students are already accustomed to attending class at a set time and you want to maintain that structure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You are comfortable facilitating a Zoom session.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Choose Asynchronous If&colon;<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students may be in different time zones or dealing with the same disruption that caused the closure (e.g., a snowstorm affecting their ability to connect reliably).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The content can be effectively delivered through a recorded video, readings, or a Canvas Discussion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You want to give students more flexibility to engage with the material on their own schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You are not comfortable facilitating a live Zoom session on short notice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can also combine both approaches. For example, you might post a recorded lecture asynchronously and host an optional Zoom session for questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Accessibility Considerations<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<p>Before finalizing your plan, take a moment to review any accommodation letters for students in your course. A shift in modality can affect students whose accommodations depend on in-person formats, such as captioning, extended time, or note-taking support. If you have students with active accommodations, consider reaching out directly or contacting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/disability-resource-center\/\">Disability Resource Center<\/a> for guidance on how to honor those accommodations in an online format.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"assess\">Managing Assessments &amp; Grading Remotely<\/h2>\n<p>Maintaining assessment continuity during a disruption does not need to be complicated. Here are some practical approaches:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <strong>in-class quizzes or exams<\/strong>, Canvas Quizzes allows you to create auto-graded assessments with multiple question types including multiple choice, true\/false, short answer, and essay. You can set time limits, availability windows, and attempt limits.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>written assignments<\/strong>, Canvas Assignments allows students to submit files, images, or text directly in Canvas. You can use Canvas SpeedGrader to review submissions and provide written or audio feedback. Turnitin is integrated in Canvas and can be enabled for originality checking.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>participation and discussion<\/strong>, Canvas Discussions replicate in-class conversation by allowing students to post and respond to each other asynchronously. You can make discussions graded or ungraded and set them up for the whole class or for small groups.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>project-based work<\/strong>, consider using Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets for collaborative assignments. Students can work together in real time or asynchronously and share their work with you directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"access\">Supporting Student Access &amp; Equity<\/h2>\n<p>In certain emergency situations, some students may face challenges accessing course materials due to limited internet connectivity or access to a personal computer. When possible, avoid requiring students to complete high-bandwidth activities such as streaming lengthy videos on a tight deadline. Provide materials in multiple formats where possible. For example, if you post a video lecture, also provide a written transcript or outline. This supports students with limited connectivity as well as students with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Consider extending deadlines by 24 to 48 hours during a disruption to account for varying student circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Students who need technology support should contact the University IT Service Desk at itservicedesk@montclair.edu or (973) 655-7971, option 1. The university offers support resources including loaner equipment for eligible students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a11y\">Accessibility in a Remote Learning Environment<\/h2>\n<p>Accessibility matters in every learning environment, and a shift to remote teaching is a good opportunity to make sure your materials are reaching all of your students. Here are a few tips to help ensure accessibility standards are met:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/itds\/instructional-tech\/captioning\/\"><strong>Captions:<\/strong><\/a> Any video content you share with students should be captioned. Panopto provides automatic captioning, but these captions should be reviewed and corrected before sharing. Zoom also generates live captions during sessions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document Accessibility:<\/strong> Use Canvas&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/itds\/instructional-tech\/panorama\/\">Panorama<\/a> tool to check the accessibility of your course files and pages. Panorama provides a color-coded accessibility score for each file\/page and step-by-step guidance for improving it.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/itds\/digital-pedagogy\/pedagogical-strategies-and-practices\/accessibility-and-universal-design-for-learning\/\">Universal Design for Learning<\/a>: UDL encourages providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement.
