The Faculty Teaching Handbook contains information on teaching-related policies and procedures at Rice, as well as walkthroughs to help new faculty access their rosters, set up their course sites, navigate the add/drop period, enter grades, etc.
The Adaptive Teaching Guide is intended to introduce a variety of strategies and techniques to help guide faculty members and instructors as they prepare for, and teach their classes in-person, online, and in dual-learning modalities. The guide features answers and suggestions to common pedagogical questions and challenges that faculty members may encounter. Instructors may also enroll in the CTE's Self-Paced Adaptive Course Design Institute through Canvas.
The Guide to Teaching Continuity is intended to assist Rice instructors in considering how to adjust their course plans during short and long-term disruption to the residential courses. Teaching during times of disruption may involve using technological tools not previously integrated into the course and thinking creatively about how to develop students’ knowledge and skills to complete course assignments. This resource provides guidance on what to consider when developing a plan for teaching your course remotely and high- and low-tech tips to manage your course and support your students.
A Decision-making Framework for Teaching with AI was developed through a project supported by the Fondren Fellows program. This resource contains an evidence-based framework, including principles and a decision-making process, for instructors considering integrating AI into their teaching. The resource summarizes evidence from 50 sources published between 2023 and April, 2026. More information about this project can be found on our Past Event Resources page.
We partner with the Center for Academic and Professional Communication, OASUS, Rice Digital Learning, Technology Solutions and Services' Learning Environments, and other groups on campus that support teaching and learning. Additional resources from our partners can be found in our Partner Resources collection.
