Teaching Resources for UAB Faculty
The UAB Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to supporting UAB faculty as we all navigate the teaching challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. On this page, we will maintain a list of resources to assist in this effort.
Be sure to check out our monthly flyer. Most of these workshops, designed specifically for UAB faculty, address hybrid learning/teaching methods that faculty will find useful for the upcoming semester. Check back often, as this page will be updated on a regular basis.
UAB Resources for faculty:
- Not sure where to begin? Request services or a one-on-one consultation with UAB eLearning's Instructional Design team. Instructional designers know what specific technology is available to UAB faculty and how to properly use it in the classroom (on-campus or online.) Instructional designers also have an understanding of pedagogy and advanced teaching techniques, so after a discussion with faculty, they can suggest methods to address the needs in their specific courses. UAB eLearning also has resources specifically related to teaching and learning remotely at UAB, another great place to start.
- Looking for workshops on hybrid and remote teaching? View eLearning's workshop archive here, with many more available on the CTL and eLearning Kaltura channels. Select topics include Remote Teaching; Using Rubrics; Alternative Assessment; Online Lectures; Zoom for Teaching; Assessments & Learning Activities for Online and Hybrid Courses; Team Activities using Canvas, CATME, & Zoom; and many more!
