Resources for Instructors:

Purdue’s Innovative Learning webpage. This is being continually updated on instruction and instructional resources for Fall 2020.

Has recordings of earlier forums, email communications, FAQs etc.

To assist instructors building courses for Fall 2020 in ways that are intentional, flexible, inclusive, and safe. IMPACT X Access is probably most useful: an asynchronous, non-facilitated version of the IMPACT X program, designed to guide instructors through the major principles of course design and the implementation and delivery of online course elements within the Brightspace LMS. Some of these principles are summarized in the portfolio here:  Guiding Principles of the IMPACT X+ portfolio
