Welcome back! This weeks teaching tips feature important updates, resources, and reminders to help start your semester off strong.
- Canvas Updates: Canvas has added a great accessibility feature, the Immersive Reader, and recently released other important updates to be aware about this Fall. A summary of Canvas Updates is available in this video and ITS article.
- Policy Reminders: Last year, UNCG issued a Syllabus Policy outlining requirements for all courses. The UNCG Syllabus Template is an available resource to help ensure that all required statements and sections appear in your syllabi. In addition, this is the first semester of UNCG’s midterm grade policy as mentioned in the Provost’s Fall 2022 welcome message.
