TRANSITIONING TO REMOTE LEARNING 
Information and resources for the transition to teaching your course remotely.

VISUAL LITERACY
Visual literacy will be available campus-wide to be included in any UToledo course. The curriculum modules will provide opportunities for UToledo students across all majors to master the ability to “speak visual” through targeted curriculum modules incorporated into their existing course offerings. The modules available can be used as homework or in-class assignments to support the development of fluency in visual language.

HIGH-IMPACT PRACTICES
The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), based on the research of George Kuh (High-Impact Educational Practices: What They Are, Who Has Access to Them, and Why They Matter, AAC&U, 2008), has identified ten top institutional practices in Higher Education that most likely to lead to lasting learning and ongoing engagement of students.

STUDENT-CENTERED TEACHING PRACTICES
How we teach the students who enter our classrooms can make the difference between students who realize their potential and those who leave us discouraged about their possibilities. These resources, organized by topic, offer frameworks and strategies faculty can use to make their classrooms vibrant learning spaces for every student who walks through the door. 

MID-TERM GRADING - Early Graded Feedback as a Tool for Student Success
Providing students with early, formative feedback on their progress in your class is one of the most effective tools for improving successful course completion. This feedback also provides key data by which advisors can identify and intervene with students who may be struggling academically, which is important for improving retention and decreasing equity gaps in student success. In this session, instructors will learn tools for providing early graded feedback to students that are practical and time-effective for instructors and also provide meaningful feedback to improve student outcomes in your class
