Teaching, Learning, and Assessing in Remote Learning Environments
Learning environments and campus structures are undergoing rapid adaptation. Your plans for your spring and summer courses have been upended. But human cognition and the essentials of how learning works haven’t changed. As you work to maintain quality in the midst of rapid course redesign, don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. Indeed, there may even be opportunities to reflect on how the challenges you face may actually help illuminate equity issues that could lead to improved learning for all your students. Join us for a conversation about teaching, assignments, learning, and assessment processes with an eye toward maintaining quality and equity in online environments.
About Faculty Fridays
Faculty are at the forefront of efforts to create and sustain high-quality, equitable, and inclusive learning environments online. During this unprecedented moment of transformation, AAC&U invites faculty from across the higher education landscape to come together as a virtual community for a weekly “happy hour” with the staff, administrators, and community partners who share and support their commitment student success. Part of AAC&U’s free webinar series, Quality, Equity, and Inclusion during the COVID Crisis, these informal conversations address in real time the issues and concerns raised by participants.
