Webinar: Pandemic Silver Linings: An Open Discussion of How COVID has Helped Us Improve Our Teaching
Date and Time: Friday, October 15, 2021 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm U.S. Eastern Time
 

In a good way, the pandemic forced us to focus on our teaching more than we have for years. We suddenly moved into an online environment where we had to reinvent our classes almost overnight. What have we learned from this experience? Of the experiments we tried, which ones will we continue to use when the pandemic recedes? This session is organized as an open, small-group discussion in which all participants will be able to share their ideas and strategies with the help of four facilitators.
