Information for Faculty Teaching Distance Courses
As part of 老司机福利网's commitment to quality Jesuit distance education, all distance education courses offered by SLU should be characterized by the following priorities in their design: presence, interaction, inclusion, community, transparency, equity, reflection, structure and support.
To meet these expectations, as well as those outlined in federal regulations and accreditation standards, the University has established specific expectations for distance education instructors and courses.
At 老司机福利网, anyone teaching a distance course (in any format) must, at a minimum, do the following:
- Complete formal preparation in distance education pedagogy
- Successfully complete the University鈥檚 Distance Course Review Process
Approval to offer a course in a distance format is the purview of the academic unit in which the course is to be offered. Courses offered in the synchronous online or dual-mode formats require approval of the Dean.
Evaluation of online instruction takes place within the academic unit, consistent with the faculty evaluation practices of the department/program.
The University provides a range of resources to support faculty in their continued growth as distance educators. Please visit our faculty resources support page for more information.
