Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Distance Approval Cover Sheet Instructional Resources

In addition to the regular curricular approval processes, distance learning courses must be submitted to the Office of Distance Education for an initial review of the courses' distance learning syllabi and the ASC Distance Approval Cover Sheet.

This page is intended to be a guide for resources to support instructors' course designs, arranged by the categories listed in the Distance Approval Cover Sheet. Many of the links below go to the excellent OSU Teaching and Learning Resource Center, a cross-unit collaboration that coordinates university efforts to highlight key content for Ohio State educators, creating a user-friendly hub of curated resources.
