"Remote Access Teaching/Learning"
​Accommodations Help and FAQ

To assist our instructors and learners, Siena Heights University Office of Accessibility has developed best practices accommodating courses remotely. In addition, Michigan State University has developed a "Plan, Modify, and Implement" strategy under a Creative Commons license (below).  Some of that information will be shared through this site, as applicable to Siena's mission and campus(es) model.

"Note: Teaching a fully online course requires careful planning and many hours of preparation whereas remote teaching is more reactionary in nature. Remote teaching might not afford you the ability to be overly strategic. It instead focuses on keeping continuity for what you have already started in a face-to-face environment."
