Snowmageddon 2016<\/a> should be a reminder that course delivery is vulnerable to unplanned events. Potential interruptions to class activities include but are not limited to natural disasters, widespread illness, acts of violence, planned or unexpected construction-related closures, severe weather conditions, and medical emergencies. Whatever the event, an instructional continuity plan will help you to be ready to continue teaching with minimal interruption. <\/p>\nIt's not too late to consider developing an instructional continuity plan for your current courses. <\/p>\n <\/iframe> <\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"> <strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/jflorent\/instructional-continuity-plan\" title=\"Instructional Continuity Plan\" target=\"_blank\">Instructional Continuity Plan: Tips for Getting Started SlideShare Presentation<\/a> <\/strong> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For those who missed our workshop and for those who want to learn more about instructional continuity you will find a link to the PowerPoint presentation above.
