LinkedIn Learning for Instructors
LinkedIn Learning videos and courses are designed and delivered by experienced educators and recognized industry experts. In addition, CTAL staff are continually reviewing LIL content for material related to teaching and learning. Before making our recommendations (below), we ensure the materials’ quality and relevance to our unique University of Delaware academic ecosystem.
If you haven’t already, please visit www.udel.edu/linkedinlearning to activate your UD sponsored access to LinkedIn Learning at no financial cost to you. Once your account has been activated, you will have the opportunity to join LinkedIn Learning with your existing LinkedIn profile. Joining these two accounts would allow you to share LIL course completion accomplishments, such as digital certificates, with your professional network.

Course Design
Creating Your Syllabus: CTAL’s Syllabus Template provides a conceptual framework flexible for all teaching situations. It includes up-to-date UD course policies and is designed with accessibility in mind. Throughout the document you will find guiding questions and sample language included to cut down on the time it takes you to develop or update your syllabus.
Self-Paced Option for Teaching Online Now (SPOT-ON). A Canvas-based resource to walk you through the creation and revision of online courses. SPOT-ON includes materials that cover course design, authentic assessment, creating online learning activities, equity in online classes, and much more. SPOT-ON is designed to get you started with concrete strategies after just a few minutes or you can spend several hours walking through the complete redesign process.
For face-to-face, flipped, concurrent, and hybrid course design we recommend beginning with a CTAL consultation with one of our staff. The consultation process is flexible and designed to be responsive in order to meet the individual needs of instructors. While there is a general “structure” in terms of assessing an individual’s needs and crafting a plan, different models exist depending on the course and instructor.
