NOTE: The Instructional Continuity site was created in response to the UT Austin campus closure in March 2020. In addition to this content, we encourage you to visit the FIC Commons which has new content for summer and fall course planning.
Overview
In response to the changing COVID-19 situation, the University is preparing technology resources so faculty members have the ability to transition their courses online. This website is a guide for instructors to use in planning this move. Recommended tools are supported campus-wide by the Faculty Innovation Center and Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services. Your college or department staff may support other tools available for you to use. Please move through this guide step-by-step. Pay special attention to the sections that address updating your syllabus and submitting an Instructional Continuity Plan.
