Faculty Support in the Time of the Virus
To say that that we have been living in interesting times with respect to spring semester's course delivery and attendant faculty support is putting it mildly. Despite the substantial challenges the community has faced, we have accomplished a great deal despite inadequate preparation time and insufficient staffing. What have we learned about supporting faculty from our spring experience? Also, how should we be planning to support our faculty for the summer and fall terms: business as usual? Totally online once again? Some mix? What kinds of learning experiences will our faculty need to be successful next term? Join this discussion session on faculty development and support, which will explore both lessons learned and how the community is planning faculty support for the remainder of 2020.
