A consistent look and feel between all SPHHP online coursework is helpful for students because they will know what to expect and where to find all course materials. It’s also helpful for faculty because course management is easier when everything’s uniform.

UB’s CEI has a host of new tools available, including designing an online course, building the course in an online environment, and teaching online. Each of these modules include examples, how-to videos, and other content that will facilitate creating or moving a course online.
CEI also includes a page on preparing a seated course to move online for short periods of time, in case of severe weather conditions or other emergency events.
CEI now offers faculty consultations, or one-on-one sessions with CEI designers to address teaching challenges, discuss pedagogical strategies, refresh or design online course content, and connect with faculty in the growing teaching community at UB.
