Implementing the "Plus One" Strategy
The "Plus One" strategy revolves around consistently adding one new element, feature, or improvement to your course to continually enhance its quality. Here's how to apply this approach effectively:
Winter Weather Operations Update - Liberal Leave Policy in Effect for Tues., Jan. 23
Due to winter weather conditions, we wanted to provide an update about campus operations. Classes WILL be in session both on-ground and online on Tuesday, Jan. 23. As the UIS Inclement Weather Policy states, if classes are not canceled and a student believes that travel will be dangerous, the student should make the appropriate personal decision and notify their instructor of a planned absence from class. Instructors are advised to abide by each student’s judgment in such cases.
Save the Date: Spring Professional Development Retreat - March 1
Save the Date!
Following the success of our fall retreat, there will be a Professional Development Retreat on March 1 for all faculty and staff. More details, including registration information, will be forthcoming, but please mark your calendars for this next Rise event.
Message from the Chancellor: UIS Update 1.22.24
1.22.24
Happy Monday, UIS!
And what a Monday it is. Due to icy conditions, in-person classes have been canceled today, and the Liberal Leave Policy is in effect. Many employees are working remotely today, so please check with departments ahead of time before planning to visit in person. Please note that Food Service is in operation today but may have limited options.
My sincere thanks to the employees who are working hard to keep campus warm and safe today.
