Welcome to the Palomar College Distance Education Handbook!

This Canvas course serves as a resource for Palomar College faculty in support of excellence in online teaching and learning.

This Canvas course is a "living" resource, meaning it will be continually updated to ensure faculty are provided with the information they need to be successful at Palomar.
- If you have suggestions for content additions or revisions, please reach out to the DE Coordinator or Committee members.
This Handbook is publicly viewable.
- Faculty can choose to bookmark the URL for future access, or they can choose to "+ Join This Course" from the course homepage to have the courses added to their Canvas dashboard for ease in accessing the information.
This handbook is simply a resource, there are no Canvas assignments or discussions, there is only helpful and important information.
The information in this Canvas course is intended to replace all publicly available DE information previously included on the Palomar College main website. This DE Handbook will now serve as the primary source of DE information for Palomar College faculty.
