The Online Faculty Fellows Hub is a resource containing a wide array of strategies, definitions, and guides to help faculty prepare to teach online.

Individual guides offer help with Course Design and Management, Presentation of Materials (for both blended and online classrooms), Communication and Collaboration with Students, Group Work, and much more.

Although focused on online teaching and learning, all faculty can benefit from the information available in the Hub. Each page is organized around pedagogical questions and offers strategies for ways to define and apply solutions in the classroom.
