Teaching a Course

A pathway serves as your essential guide to teaching with technology at ASU, connecting you with key tools, strategies, and insights to enhance your digital teaching experience—from refining Canvas courses to ideas for engaging students effectively.
 

This guide provides a variety of resources that can provide support as you begin to teach your course. You'll find quick steps to get started and additional materials that provide more in-depth information. Communicating course expectations is critical in establishing a clear and supportive learning environment. Beyond simply sharing policies and due dates, effectively setting expectations involves aligning your syllabus, grading methods, and academic integrity guidelines with your learning objectives. This approach fosters transparency, encourages student engagement, and ensures a fair and consistent experience throughout the course. By following this guide, you will explore key strategies for delivering expectations to enhance structure, fairness, and inclusivity, as well as set the stage for a productive and engaging semester.

Note: If you’re working with an instructional designer at your college or through ASU Online, we recommend contacting them for specific resources and guidance. You can also schedule an appointment with a Learning Experience Designer to discuss any questions about your ASU course or available educational technologies. In addition, we offer workshops, a comprehensive asynchronous course, and resources to support our enterprise-wide tools. Ready to speak with one of our designers? Schedule a consultation.
