All classrooms being used for face-to-face instruction have all the standard smart classroom equipment including microphones, webcams, document cameras, smart monitors, and necessary software. They are also configured to allow for all contingencies including recording of lectures, live asynchronous lectures, hi-flex models, hybrid, and traditional face-to-face instruction.
Here are some resources to help faculty plan and revise courses, find suitable technology, remove learning barriers, and build high-quality learning environments. You are welcome to use these documents, share them with colleagues, or contact IDLT for assistance.
Teaching in the classrooms
Teaching from home
The SIUE campus is open and fully operational and faculty are welcome to utilize their office space as needed to fulfill their teaching, service, and research assignments. However, many faculty members teach remotely.
To help ensure staff have access to the resources they need, ITS has configured the SIUE VPN Remote Access for Faculty use.
