Welcome to Teaching Online: A Penn Nursing Resource, a self-guided Canvas course site for Professors and Teaching Assistants teaching online in the School of Nursing, including faculty teaching online for the first time and adapting courses for online delivery.

This Canvas course site is designed to be self-guided and focuses on best practices for online pedagogy using many of the tools used in teaching online, including the Canvas learning management platform, web video, recorded presentations such as Power Point lectures, etc. Features of Canvas are highlighted and explained throughout. The course site is best viewed in Firefox or Safari. If using Chrome, some videos may not load automatically (and will require clicking a shield that appears in the upper right of the URL bar.)

To get started, watch the Navigation video below, from our colleagues in the School of Arts & Sciences. You can then use the links below to access course modules.

The Online Learning team supports for-credit online classes in the School of Nursing as well as open learning initiatives, and offers instructional design expertise and full service video production. To learn more about us, visit our website.

Stay in Touch!

The Online Learning team opted to make this course site open, meaning anyone with a PennKey and password can access it. Unfortunately, that also means discussions are disabled. Please send us your questions and feedback so we can include them in our ongoing Questions/Feedback Module.

Please e-mail any questions or suggestions to Dr. Sara Sieteski, Online Learning, Classroom & Instructional Technologies Manager.
