As faculty prepare to teach in new modalities this fall, it is important that we take time to share and reflect on our experiences teaching remotely in the spring and online in the summer.  Dan Mathewson and Jameica Hill will offer presentations on these topics.  After their presentations, all participants will have an opportunity to share their experiences.  This discussion will be recorded.  Contact Anne Catlla for the Zoom information.  All faculty and staff are welcome.

Please join us on Monday July 13 at 10:00am for a discussion of inequities, issues, and challenges that our students may face in the classroom this Fall semester, considering our current unusual environment.  We will hear from the following colleagues that can provide advice and resources available on campus, followed by a Q&A:

Begoña Caballero, Dean of Diversity and Inclusion.

Amanda Estabrook, Title IX and ADA Coordinator.

Perry Henson, Director of Counseling and Accessibility Services.

James Stukes, Coordinator for College Access and Student Success.

To obtain the Zoom Meeting Id, please write and email to Begoña Caballero (caballerob@wofford.edu) or Anne Catlla (Catllaaj@wofford.edu) before July 13.

This is one of three identical two-hour workshops being offered this week.  In the workshop, participants will work through the process of redesigning their courses to be blended.  We will start from classroom constraints and course goals, think through how course components might look in-person and online, and end with a plan for how to blend a course and course mapping.  This workshop is interactive.  Please come with a course in mind.  Participation is limited to 20.  You can sign up using the link that was sent in the July 24 email to faculty and staff.  You may sign up for all three workshops in order to repeat this process for multiple classes.  If there is demand for additional sessions, more will be added.

Zoom information will be sent to those who have signed up 24 hours before the session.

A recording of this session will be posted on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.
