Faculty in the college of pharmacy have been creating videos of their PowerPoint lectures by adding narrations to them. The advantage of using this platform for creating video is that it is easy to edit and does not require re-recording a lecture each time. Each slide narration can be edited individually and a new video can be created using previous narrations. The links below provide step-by-step instructions on how to create these.

Need Someone to Talk to About How to Manage Student Writing in Your Online Course? Contact the faculty coordinators with the NSU Writing and Communication Center.

The NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) helps students by providing writing consultations, but we also help faculty through workshops on effective teaching practices, and consultation on the design of documents, assignments, and courses. As NSU faculty prepare to deliver all classes online, we hope you will:

You can also find online teaching tips and learn about WCC-created modules in Canvas that you can download into your online courses on topics such as avoiding plagiarism and APA citation 7th
  • Join a WCC faculty coordinator in Zoom any time from 9am-12pm (M-F) between March 16-27. Instructors can drop in and ask questions of faculty coordinators with experience teaching writing online. Join using this link: https://nova.zoom.us/j/927357041 .
  • Send the WCC a question or request. Not sure how to manage student writing in Canvas? Need a module on a writing-related topic but aren’t sure where to start? Fill out the linked form and a WCC faculty coordinator will get back to you within 24 hours (though likely sooner) to try and address your need.
