Moving to online teaching in response to the coronavirus, COVID-19? Free access to Epigeum resources that may help.

March 12, 2020

Update: Thank you to all who accessed the online training resources we made freely available until 31 May 2020; we hope that they helped support your transition to online teaching in response to coronavirus, COVID-19. If you are interested in trialling or subscribing to any of the courses outlined below, please get in touch.


With the ongoing global spread of coronavirus, COVID-19, many universities are closing or cancelling in-person lectures. If you have been asked to move your teaching online, but are more familiar with traditional, face-to-face methods, we can help.

To support you, we are making a range of our most relevant online training resources freely available. Anyone tackling an unexpected or abrupt transition to digital course delivery is welcome to make use of them:

  • Teaching Online presents the fundamental principles of online pedagogy, guiding users through the “nuts and bolts” of designing, delivering, and evaluating online courses for the first time. It also includes a stand-alone course to support students in making the most of their online learning experience.
  • Blended Learning explores the strategic and practical implications of integrating face-to-face and online methods in teaching and learning, covering a range of models and approaches, and including advice on fostering a blended learning culture.
  • University Teaching: Core Skills, Planning and Preparing Learning Activities instructs those who are new to teaching on designing, structuring, and sequencing learning, with practical strategies for facilitating active learning in online and blended environments

  • University Teaching: Core Skills, Addressing Barriers to Student Success provides guidance on developing an inclusive and supportive learning environment, including advice on navigating stressful periods, and delivering online wellbeing support

  5. Once this process is complete, you can log into your new account on our platform, where you will have access to the resources, all stored under ‘My Courses’.

The programmes and courses will be freely accessible until Sunday 31 May 2020.

 

Whether you’re already planning extensively in an online format, or simply scoping out contingency arrangements, we hope that these resources will help to build your skills and confidence during this uncertain time.
