Remote Teaching
During this time of physical distance, we recognize the incredible task facing faculty and instructors who need to adapt their courses quickly. Many courses are well-established, were never intended to be delivered this way, and benefit greatly from in person delivery.
While this situation poses a significant challenge, often without perfect solutions, it is also an opportunity to consider new approaches. This page is intended to help with the process of adapting existing in-person courses for remote delivery as efficiently and effectively as possible.
