The Center for Online Learning & Innovation (COLI) is offering a five-week mini-course for Canisius College faculty, that prepares professors to teach online and hybrid courses. This course provides many practical tips for teaching online but more importantly, helps faculty explore new pedagogies for active learning, social presence and community building in online courses.
Specifically, the Online Faculty Development Course (OFDC) can help professors craft engaging, interactive online experiences for students that go hand-in-hand with limited use of the classroom. Register here for the next OFDC which starts February 26. We are offering a second course that starts on March 29 that you can also register for.

Good morning Canisius community. This is as painful for you as it is for us but yesterday, President John Hurley had to ‘make good’ on that friendly bet he wagered with his presidential counterpart at Rockhurst University, Rev. Thomas Curran, SJ, ahead of Sunday’s Buffalo Bills/Kansas City Chiefs game.
As you can see, the loser of that bet had to sport the winning team’s facemask for a day … and show proof that he obliged.
