Introduction

Making the shift from the face-to-face teaching to the online environment also means shifting the way you think about your course materials. In this module, we will review copyright, FERPA, accessibility and universal design for learning (UDL), library services, and export compliance as they relate to your online course materials. You are probably familiar with each of these topics on some level. How you apply these concepts to your course changes as you move into the online environment. This week’s materials and activities include how to make adjustments to your syllabus to include statements related to the above topics, how copyright changes in relationship to the online environment, making sure your course materials are accessible to all students, plus a review of the online library resources available for both students and faculty.

After reading about these concepts, you will experience the student perspective of participating in a small online group discussion and take a timed quiz based on this week's readings. You will also apply these concepts to several Build Your Course Activities as you begin to create a draft of your Syllabus, Course Expectations, and Instructor/Course Introduction.
