Teaching Resources
The Office of University Online Education Services offers comprehensive faculty development opportunities to empower online instructors. Leveraging our team's diverse expertise in instructional design, multimedia, and technology, we provide tailored services to enhance pedagogical skills and promote best practices in online teaching. Our initiatives aim to foster a community of innovative educators across Rutgers University's fully online degree programs, ensuring high-quality learning experiences for students.
Online Teaching Essentials Series
Equip yourself with the foundational skills and knowledge you need to begin creating inclusive, engaging, learner-centered online courses. This series is designed to provide you with a set of on-demand, bite-sized learning modules that you can move through at your own pace, and in any order, while working toward a meaningful credential that you can share with your colleagues and peers.
Resource Library
Our Resource Library provides self-service tools for online instructors. The DIY Course Design Toolkit includes a Canvas course shell template, exemplar sites, a Design-Build-Launch checklist, and a syllabus template, empowering faculty to create effective online courses independently. The Course Accessibility sections offer tools for both instructors and those who support instruction. These resources allow instructors to enhance their skills, troubleshoot issues, and develop high-quality online courses at their own pace, supporting continuous professional growth and improved course delivery.
Custom Workshops
The Office of University Online Education Services offers custom workshops tailored to the specific needs of academic units. If you are planning a new online or hybrid course, revising an existing course, exploring a program-level initiative, or seeking a workshop for your department, we invite you to submit a request through our intake form.
The intake form helps us understand your goals, timeline, and the type of support you’re seeking so we can route your request to the right team members and follow up appropriately.
Individual Support
Individual appointments are designed for focused, one-time consultations — whether you’d like to talk through a teaching idea, get feedback on part of your course, explore a tool, or ask a specific question. These meetings are typically short, practical, and centered on your immediate needs.
