Department Chairs Quarterly Guide to Online Instruction

1. Send the Faculty Resource Center your course assignments as soon as possible.  Identify courses you know to be online or hybrid.
   
2. Ask any faculty member who is teaching an online or hybrid course to contact the Faculty Resource Center for an orientation. We want to ensure they have everything they need to get started the next quarter.  This is especially important if the faculty member has not taught online or hybrid for more than a quarter, is teaching new content, or is teaching in VISTA for the first time.
