Syllabi for Online Learning

As we move into online learning, here is some new information to include on course syllabi:

1) Instructor's office hours, including virtual office hours, if any
2) Preferred method for reaching instructor, e.g., email, phone, text message
3) Maximum time frame for responding to student communications
4) Technological requirements, especially the minimum hardware and software needed
5) Contact information for IT / Online Learning Help
6) Procedure for resolving technical complaints
7) Information on Library Services for Online Learning

Here is a sample statement that Louisville Seminary faculty may use in their syllabi for items 4, 5, 7:

Summer Library Services

Welcome back! As Summer learning proceeds with Intensives, remember the Online Learning page to locate login URLS you may need. Below are reminders about our library services.

Fall Course and Textbook Reserves

Course Reserves for Fall

Course reserve readings will be made available in CAMS. There will be no print course reserves, only electronic. Out of an abundance of caution and care, faculty have been asked to submit all course reserves requests for the entire semester before Aug. 14th, 2020.

Textbook Reserves for Fall

The 2-hour in-building reserve of textbooks is a service that the Library will not be able to offer in the Fall. The quarantine period required for books is 4 days between users. Electronic textbook reserves are being explored using the Fall Book List that was submitted by Aug. 14, 2020.

Online Drop-in Office Hours starting Sept. 9

Dear Students,

I thought it may be helpful to share and highlight a new library service starting in Fall:  Online, Open, Drop-in Office Hours.

We will start with 3 days of the week during the lunch hour, M, W, and Th.  You can drop in to ask questions about library related matters. Bobi, Carolyn and I will take turns one day of the week each to be available in real time to help.
