Virtual Events on Faculty Resilience
  • ON DEMAND: Academic administrators know that emergency remote teaching, in its current state, is a short-term solution that will not suffice if we are to face extended or repeated periods of distancing in the pandemic era. Effective online education requires training, preparation, and support — not to replicate courses, but to redesign them. This forum focuses on the resources colleges need now to design and develop high-quality online courses to take the place of in-person courses this summer and fall. Supported by McGraw Hill. Watch on demand.
  • ON DEMAND: The Covid pandemic has changed the professoriate, perhaps forever. With so much unclear about what the upcoming fall will look like, few professors and instructors have had time to think about the long-term changes. The Chronicle’s Ian Wilhelm and futurist Bryan Alexander engaged in conversation on what’s in store in 2021. Supported by Deloitte. Watch on demand
  • ON DEMAND: With college courses now online, professors and instructors are looking for ways to make the students’ experience the best it can be. The principles of inclusive teaching — the practice of embracing student diversity and designing courses in ways that reach all students — can help. Supported by Slack. Watch on demand.
Virtual Events on Financial Challenges
  • ON DEMAND: With many colleges planning to reopen either fully or partially in just a few weeks, they are searching for effective ways to track the health of the campus community and are increasingly turning to telemedical and artificial-intelligence solutions to help. Alexander Kafka, a Chronicle senior editor, will lead a conversation about what immediate steps they are planning.
