POCR (Peer Online Course Reviewer) Faculty Resource Page 
This resource center has the resources you will need to help prepare you to be a POCR reviewer.

Pages vs. PDF – Helen Graves 
The HTML environment (meaning pages in a Canvas course) is the most user-friendly for both screen reader devices and mobile devices. On top of that, remediating Word, PowerPoint and PDF files to make them accessible is not something many instructors know how to do. In this episode of Byte-sized, we’ll show you the best way to resolve that dilemma.

Plagiarism and Cheating
Online Resources for Faculty: Plagiarism, Academic Integrity and Online Education
Although there is no way to totally prevent students from ever plagiarizing, professors can take measures that will definitely help reduce plagiarism cases. There are many online articles and web pages on how instructors should handle assignments to avoid plagiarism.

Tutorials
