Academic Continuity

This academic continuity website has been created to provide instructors with resources to assist them in preparing for a disruption of on-campus courses.

Resources include guidance and strategies for moving courses online (including both lecture and lab-based courses), assistance locating digital library resources, suggestions for creating alternative activities in Engaged Learning courses, and supplemental resources to help instructors become familiar with online teaching and learning technologies. This website will be routinely updated as new resources are developed.

Instructor requests for instructional design assistance should be sent to: online@luc.edu

The table below will help you identify appropriate technology tool solutions for common instructional tasks. Additional information related to moving instruction online can be found in the links below.
