Need 24/7 Canvas and Zoom Support? See Support Info here.

The ATC has developed this site to help faculty do a quick transition to online classes from traditional face-to-face in the event of unexpected disruption.

We have quick start "how-to" guides for each of the tools that WPI supports for online teaching and learning.

Our recommendation is to use one or more of these supported tools for ease of use (they also do not require the WPI VPN to run).

Additionally, we recommend their use to provide a consistent learning experience for our remote students but you are not limited to these 3 tools.

Canvas
Echo360
Zoom

We also have a Pedagogy guide developed by our Instructional Designers to help you learn best practices for assessment, communication, and interaction with your students online.

If you are an experienced instructor and want to contribute some ideas, files, research articles, etc. to a Microsoft Teams document repository, please feel free to join the Teams site. All faculty are welcome to join to see what resources are available.

The Provost's office is maintaining a list of instructors who have taught online or have self-nominated themselves as experienced mentors. Please feel free to consult that list if you have some questions you'd like to ask an experienced colleague.

The Center for Project-Based Learning has created a support webpage for going online with PBL. Check out this great list of resources that they've compiled.

Finally, some guides for you and your students about using Canvas, completing projects and group work online, and the tools we have to support them.

Click on Modules on the left hand side to see all the guides.

Would you like to attend an in-person or online training on one of these topics?

For assistance, please contact atc-ttl@wpi.edu and we'd be happy to help.
