Faculty Web Presence

 

 

Faculty can create and maintain a web presence external to ETUDES NG using the following tools and services. 

 

Faculty can use whatever delivery method they choose for online instruction, however, unintended consequences exist for use of alternatives to ETUDES NG.  Instructors should be aware of the added responsibilities and workload associated with using alternatives to ETUDES NG.

 

The consequences of using a delivery method other than ETUDES NG include:

 

  • Instructors must take responsibility for enrollment management and online course login/access.
  • Instructors must take responsibility for ensuring the privacy of student information, meeting accessibility requirements, and complying with fair use guidelines.
  • Instructors must provide their own tech support and login assistance to students. FGA is not able to provide tech support to students and instructors who use any delivery method other than ETUDES NG.
  • Due to lack of standardization, students who take several online courses delivered using a variety of methods will be confused by the differences in navigation, layout, procedures, and course access.
  • FGA is not able to provide instructional design assistance for course development.
  • FGA is not able to provide training in use of alternatives to ETUDES NG for online course delivery.
