Good Teaching Always
Starts with a Plan
|
Demonstrate your thoughtful course design, gain some helpful feedback regarding best practices, and receive tangible evidence of your commitment to teaching. Submit your course for Course Design Review (CDR)!
To get started, make a copy (File menu > make a copy) of this worksheet and review the evaluation criteria and questions you will need to answer.
|
Have questions? Want some help getting started? Email ELTC at helpdesk@uah.edu to connect with an instructional designer to answer any questions you have.
|
Faculty (including GTAs) and staff qualify for a licensed account of Zoom. This allows you to run a Zoom session for 30 hours for 300 people. If your Zoom session ends at 40 minutes, you do not have a licensed account.
At the end of the spring semester, all GTA licensed accounts will be canceled. If you are a GTA teaching this summer, your faculty instructor will need to contact ETLC at helpdesk@uah.edu to request a license for you.

Got inaccessible documents?
We can help. |
This summer, the ETLC is offering a document accessibility remediation service for faculty and staff on a first-come, first-served basis.
Submit your document through our online request form - one form for each document. We will complete as many remediations as possible.
|
The extended Title II deadline gives us a chance to deliberately address our accessibility issues. You are still responsible for making your Summer and Fall digital course content accessible. ETLC is here to help! It is important you complete the Launch module in Mission Accessible course in Canvas to demonstrate we are training our personnel. That module and others in the training tell you about what you have to do and how the Panorama software can help.
Your checklist for summer:
|
Complete the Panorama training module in Mission Accessible course (must complete Launch module to view)
Check out the document remediation modules
Click on Panorama in your course navigation menu
Make an appointment to work one on one with our accessibility specialist on Zoom or in person

Keep your UAH Applications Updated for Better Accessibility
|
UAH faculty and staff are encouraged to keep Microsoft 365 Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Adobe Acrobat Pro updated to the most current versions.
Updates often include improved accessibility features, enhanced accessibility checkers, bug fixes, and tools that make it easier to create documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and PDFs that meet accessibility expectations.
|
Using the latest versions helps ensure you have access to the most reliable tools for checking headings, reading order, alt text, color contrast, tables, PDF tags, and other important accessibility elements. Taking a few minutes to update your applications now can save time later and help support more accessible digital content for all learners.
|
UAH will not be renewing the campus license for Minitab at this time. If you use this tool for teaching, you will need to begin looking for a new resource. The current version of Minitab expires June 2026 and will be removed from the classroom computers as soon as the license expires. If you have any questions please contact Larry Frost.
