EMU’s Virtual EMU’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a “tunnel” between your computer and the campus network that identifies you as a member of the EMU community when you are not connected directly to the campus network, allowing you access to restricted networked resources. If you need to access resources that require connecting to VPN, please see our instructions for connecting with VPN.

Teaching Remotely

Asynchronous instructional options

Pre-recording lectures works for classes of any size and is especially useful for large lectures. It’s an excellent option for students who may not be available during class time.

Below are Panopto tutorials on:

Digital video for education

...

• Recording with Panopto for Mac

• Editing with Panopto

• Video Permissions

    in Moodle courses (Video Hosting)

...

• Ask students to complete a Moodle quiz after viewing your pre-recorded lecture or completing assigned readings.

• Ask students to work on problems, projects, or drafts online. They can do so either individually, in pairs, or groups.

  • After they submit their work, ask students to discuss it together.

  • Students may do their work asynchronously, but are required to submit their assignments by a specific date and time. 

Best practices for online paired or group work:

• Use part, or all, of an assignment your students are already working on in class.

• Assign groups of students to do different readings and then facilitate asynchronous online discussions of the texts together.

• Use the Moodle workshop activity for students to submit rough drafts, and give each other feedback on drafts, as per a protocol you post on Moodle.
