Loyola has specific policies regarding required syllabus content. Please review our syllabus template page for more information. On this page, you will also find templates (plain and graphic) that can be adjusted to meet your particular pedagogical needs. You will also find a current copy of syllabus part II. 

Loyola now uses Concourse Syllabus for our storage and repository needs. Please note: 

1. In-person:  All or most course activity is completed on campus / face-to-face, with required meetings on a regular schedule.  Some online or hybrid tools may be used.
2. Hybrid: Online activity is mixed with classroom meetings, replacing some, but not all required face-to-face instructional act

Quality Matters (QM) is a nonprofit, nationally and internationally recognized, faculty-driven course quality assurance organization. It provides instructors with tools and processes to continuously improve their online and blended courses through a rigorous review process organized around a research-based rubric of QM course design standards. It's grounded in research, driven by best practices, and it's a community that puts learners first.

The Center for Teaching, Research, & Learning, the Pan-American Life Student Success Center, and the Career Development Center have launched a “Don’t Cancel Class” initiative. When instructors go to professional development events, conferences, or have personal conflicts, they often have to cancel class. We know so many of our staff members have expertise they could offer our students and we invite everybody to participate in this new success and retention initiative. 

Portfolium is a resource available to all Loyola faculty, staff, and students. It's a useful way for them to store their important projects, coursework, or information on upcoming and past meetings and presentations, while making those items available to others for viewing and assessment. Faculty can create a Portfolium submission link in their courses for students to access. With a well developed ePortfolio, students, faculty and staff can establish what sets them apart in an increasingly digital world.

The Center for Teaching, Research, and Learning Team supports online learning technology, in particular Canvas, Kaltura, Respondus. Our services include but are not limited to:

• Canvas training
• Online course design and redesign  
• Online course review and quality control
• Help with Kaltura Video Management
• Help with Respondus for exam proctoring

Rather than directly emailing a member of the team, the best method for contact is onlineed@loyno.edu. 

On this page, we will provide you with easy access to articles and other websites we think are good resources for increasing student engagement in your courses.
