Technology Options for Course Continuity in Event of H1N1 Outbreak

A four-step approach

1. Establish a central meeting point online

Sakai can serve as a portal to all of the online options listed on this site.
Instructions for creating a Sakai course site are available: Basics of Sakai@UD.

 

2. Consider what course elements can be handled online

There are three general categories:

  • Options where participants must be present at the same time (synchronous)    more More

  • Options where participants need not be present at the same time (asynchronous)    more More

  • Options for asynchronous recording that require the availability of UD facilities and/or ATS staff    more More

3. Determine your delivery method

Your technology choice will typically determine the most appropriate delivery method.

  • You can send messages and attachments to all students on your roster using PO Box.

  • To organize a large number of files for student references, use Sakai Resources.
    Instructions for using Sakai Resources are available: Sakai@UD content delivery.

  • To send large files to one or more recipients, use UD Dropbox.

4. Inform your students
