Update: March 13, 2020, 6:15 PM
Dear Laney Graduate School Community,
Effective Monday, March 23, 2020, all Emory University classes will transition to remote instruction.
We recommend that teaching assistants, teaching associates, and faculty explore the use of tools such as Canvas and Zoom. These tools are equipped with built-in features that support a quick shift to remote instruction. Below is additional information and resources to assist faculty and graduate students serving as teaching assistants/associates.
Emory schools and colleges have instructional support teams that are able to answer questions about transitioning your courses to a remote format. Laney graduate students serving as Teaching Assistants/Associates (TA) can access support for this transition from existing instructional support teams on campus. Graduate faculty are also encouraged to use these resources as well. Contact information for these resources can be found below.

By creating an account, you can access resources and recordings of past topics that will be of use in transitioning your course to a remote format. Navigate to Events à Past Events to see past workshops and programs, some of which are accompanied by recordings, slides, and other resources.

With appreciation,
-Lisa
