Teaching During a Disruption

Unforeseen events, such as campus incidents, hurricanes, or technical disruptions, can interrupt your ability to deliver classes. Taking time to plan ahead ensures you and your students are ready to adapt if disruptions occur.

Digital Learning is here to support you in preparing for and navigating these situations, offering guidance before, during, and after any disruption.

The USF Faculty Toolkit Academic Continuity Resources offer you a step-by-step, easy-to-follow action plan for leveraging Canvas, establishing communication, delivering content, and more. Explore the toolkit to ensure you're ready to keep teaching, no matter what comes your way. 

The following Academic Continuity Checklist outlines the essential elements needed to help you continue instruction during unexpected disruptions. It includes best practices and relevant resources for developing a communication plan, preparing for remote instruction, strengthening your Canvas and Microsoft Teams skills, and ensuring your students are ready for a seamless transition.

Canvas is one of the most effective tools to help you and your students stay connected during a disruption. It offers a wide range of features to support continued teaching and learning, no matter the circumstances.
