As the spring semester fast approaches, the COLI team wanted to ensure in this post that you know of and have the links for at least some of our resources at your disposal:

  • Multi-Modal Teaching & Learning COLi Resources
    • This website has many tips for pedagogy and links to other resources and toolsets that faculty may find useful in the coming weeks, including examples of course work and methods, and various other toolsets and resources.
  • COVID-19 Academic Resources – Academic Affairs – Canisius College Wiki
    • The above link is to a Canisius College Wiki page that the Division of Academic Affairs put together, which includes several links that will be listed below. It also includes links to other resources for instructors as far as guidance on attendance, course orientation, office hours, etc.
  • D2L Self-Paced Training for Faculty and Staff
    • On this page, faculty will find almost everything that they need to know about D2L and how to make it work best for their pedagogical practices. These tutorials include quizzes, discussion boards, dropboxes, amongst other things that can be done in D2L. 
  • Zoom for Web Conferencing
    • Here, faculty will find YouTube tutorials for many useful features of Zoom, which is often used for both synchronous meetings and asynchronous recordings. Faculty can also break students into smaller groups for group discussions or group work. 
  • Using Adobe Acrobat
    • On this webpage, faculty will find information about drawing in PDF’s and creating signatures to digitally sign documents. 
  • Consult with COLI or Email helpdesk@canisius.edu
    • If you need more help implementing some coursework/pedagogical best practices or need help with an issue dealing with D2L, please click on the Consult with COLI link to be sent to a webpage to see days/times that COLI staff are available to help you. Or, if the issue is a bit more immediate, you can contact us at helpdesk@canisius.edu.
