Western Re-Branding – What does that mean to me?
As most have heard by now, Western has new branding. As a result of this change, over the next several months we will begin changing over all course materials to the new templates. If you are preparing new materials for your current class or upcoming class we would ask that you start using the new templates now. They can be found on the Instructor Resource website at http://uwo.ca/cstudies/instructorresourcesite/material/material.html
For any of your existing materials, we will copy the content over for you to the new templates. Please email Karen De Heus at kdeheus@uwo.ca to make these arrangements. We will be targeting the Spring courses first, therefore if you are teaching in the Spring/Summer term, please email Karen no later than 3 weeks before your course begins if you would like us to migrate your content for you.
New Term
Teaching this Winter?
Whether you are a returning instructor to Continuing Studies or new to our team there are some important items you need to be aware of:
Photocopying requests:
Copying of weekly materials are to be submitted to Karen De Heus (preferably electronically) no later than 1 week prior to your class. All copying will be double sided and stapled unless otherwise specified. Please use the templates for the course outline, course handout and powerpoints found on our Instructor Resource website.
Teaching in the evening:
In January our evening staff members will be here until 7:30pm Monday thru Thursday. They will be here to support your needs and assist you with classroom set up. If your class ends after 7:30, please power off all equipment and close your classroom door. The Citi Plaza mall security will lock the main office doors once the last class has ended.
Need to reschedule or cancel a class?
If a class meeting time must be cancelled or rescheduled, please contact Karen De Heus as soon by email kdeheus@uwo.ca or by phone at 519 661 2111 ext 85665 as soon as possible so that students can be redirected if they turn up in our office.
All class meeting times that are cancelled must be made up. Please consult with Karen De Heus prior to rescheduling to ensure space is available.
HR
If you are teaching with Continuing Studies this winter it is important to update any changes to your personal information on the HR website. (You will need your user name and password. If you have forgotten this information you may call the Computer Accounts Office at 519-661-3800 and by having your UWO ID number ready your user name and password will be re-issued). If you are a new instructor or a returning instructor that is still receiving cheques we encourage you to set yourself up with direct deposit. This will ensure that you are paid in a timely fashion and help us in reducing the amount of paper that UWO uses.
WebCT
For online or web-enhanced courses content has been copied over from the previous year, where you will be able to login and make the appropriate changes/updates. If the course is new to WebCT it will be the responsibility of the instructor to create the course content that they wish provide to the students. Please note that all course content must be added/updated the week prior to the course starting.
