Dear Canisius Faculty and Staff-
On Friday afternoon, the Strategic Planning and Prioritization Committee held a forum in which we asked attendees to provide up to five medium- to large-scale objectives that they thought should be incorporated into the college’s next strategic plan. For anyone who could not attend, we wanted to provide the opportunity to contribute at this stage of the process. We have created a survey to collect objectives from any member of the community. The survey is available at https://forms.gle/BJZfbGCanUYCQBij6. Responses are completely anonymous, so the survey is limited to the Canisius community (please note that you are required be logged into your google drive through Canisius). The survey will remain open through Thursday, February 9th.
Thank you for considering contributing, and please stay warm this weekend.

The OFDC (Online Faculty Development Course) offered by COLI is for full-time and part-time faculty, whether new to D2L, or experienced with technology for teaching. This five-week mini-course prepares instructors to teach online and hybrid courses. The OFDC provides many practical tips for teaching online but more importantly, helps faculty explore new pedagogies for active learning, social presence, and community in courses on the internet.
Additionally, the updated OFDC offers insights on what Regular and Substantive Interactions (RSI) are and how to incorporate RSI into your courses. It also includes information on Panopto, Canisius’s new video content management system, how it works, and how to best fit Panopto into your courses.
The OFDC can help professors craft engaging, interactive online experiences for students, either for all-online courses, or hybrid courses that feature limited use of the classroom. The next OFDC starts on February 27th and ends on March 31st. To RSVP, please check out the COLI faculty development events here. While you are there, be sure to sign up for our Online Teaching and Learning Updates Workshops and Panopto Workshops too!
