Resources

We try to complement your domain-expertise with evidence-based instructional design strategies. We externalize what we’ve learned via our self-directed guides, tool comparison charts, course design modules, customizable templates and other pre-built “jumping off points” that get you ideating and iterating.

EdTech Related Events Calendar

A curated calendar of EdTech related events from around the Faculty and the University.

Start Strong Modules

Start Strong is a series of self-directed modules, short demos, and hands-on workshops, designed to get you ready to teach your courses. They are heavy on practical implementation, but also feature key instructional design principles to help you develop the Quercus course(s) that reflect you and your teaching style.

Lessons Learned Webinar Series

A webinar series to share what has worked (and likely also a bit of what has not worked) with your peers from across FASE and the University. These sessions serve as places to start ideating, share thoughts and concerns, confirm guidelines, select technological tools, and to kickstart your “design for online” process

Faculty Question of the Week

Each week we’ll use this space to share a question (or more!) that we’ve received about Quercus and other Academic Toolbox tools.
