Guidelines on Effective Online Instruction

In 2025, CSU Senior Leadership, CSU Online and the eLearning Faculty Senate Committee collaborated to create "Guidelines on Effective Online Instruction at CSU." The document is intended to serve as a guide for instructors who are teaching online at CSU, as well as promote consistency of the student experience for students enrolled in online courses and programs. 

CSU Online has a number of resources and faculty development opportunities available to help instructors develop and improve their online course design and delivery.  Please see the PDF guide of the guidelines for more information and links to resources!
