Interesting Finds

New Resources from CTLI:

  • Faculty Online Readiness Quiz – The Faculty Online Readiness Quiz is used as a self-assessment to prepare for your courses online. It will take about 5 minutes to complete. The new academic year will be different and the JIBC community wants to support our faculty in our shared commitment to creating rich, inclusive environments for learning, and pursuing excellence in learning.
  • Instructional Continuity Checklist for Faculty – We want to support and prepare our faculty for continued successful instruction to our students. We recommend that faculty take some time to plan a course of action that best suits your teaching preferences, your curriculum-specific needs and characteristics of your students. Download the pre-delivery checklist as a guideline to your planning process.
