Resources available for teaching in the event of a pandemic

As a precautionary measure in the event of significant disruption due to the H1N1 flu, Information Technology Services has compiled information on technology resources that would allow faculty and students to continue their teaching and learning activities with minimal disruption even if classroom attendance or traditional instruction were not possible. These include ANGEL, the Blogs at Penn State, Adobe Connect desktop videoconferencing, and several ways to create prerecorded lectures. For details, visit http://tlt.its.psu.edu/profiles/flu online. In addition, faculty can find recommendations for an emergency statement to include in a course syllabus at http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/learningdesign/syllabus/content online.
