This Friday, at 11:00 a.m. – Noon, I am changing our normal monthly Digital Learning Webinar agenda, usually focused on innovation, to a focus on the impact of our online response to the Coronavirus. Here is the Zoom url, https://mcnc.zoom.us/j/943706306 and phone number, (646) 558-8656ID 943 706 306.

I have invited a few members of the critical communities across the university (Faculty Development Centers, Faculty Assembly, Distance Learning Directors, Faculty Fellows) to be on the webinar and provide their perspective on:

  • Adjusting\coping to moving online so quickly
  • Identification of any major issues that have been observed (impediments)
  • What might we do to make the rest of this semester a little better for faculty and students
  • What do we need to start thinking about to prepare for Summer and Fall semesters
