Marian Teaching Best Practices

Best practices in teaching center on the C.L.E.A.R. framework—focusing on creating Context, Layout, Engagement, Alignment, and Rigor—to promote intentional, learner-centered instruction. Faculty also use backwards design to plan courses by first identifying desired learning outcomes, then designing assessments and instructional strategies that align with those goals.

Canvas Design Tips

Effective Canvas design includes embedding brief, relevant videos directly into course pages to enhance clarity and engagement without requiring students to leave the platform. Building a robust Canvas presence also involves using consistent layouts, clear instructions, and regular instructor interaction to create a structured and supportive online learning environment.
