SDSU Flexible Course Design Summer Institute
In light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and in order to prepare faculty for the uncertainties that lie ahead in Academic Year 2020-21, the SDSU Flexible Course Design Summer Institute will provide participants with pedagogical strategies to teach in a hybrid (blending online and face-to-face) or fully online environment. For SDSU faculty teaching in the Fall 2020 Semester and who are new to hybrid/online teaching, this multi-track program offers customizable experiences to enhance your skills and knowledge.
The materials from the Flexible Course Design Summer Institute are available as the Flexible Course Design Toolkit: Tutorials & Resource Guides.

Additional Faculty Training & Workshops
ITS and campus partners created the following resources in an effort to provide faculty with ample training for online and hybrid instruction. These courses will be offered in Summer 2020, and/or on an ongoing basis. Please read through these course offerings, and note the various teaching modalities to which each is geared. The courses are organized based on faculty needs and virtual instruction readiness.
