Making Courses Format Flexible for Fall – Seriously?
July 30, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am CDT
Event Details
The need to design our courses as format flexible this fall is bringing anxiety for many. Format flexible adds intentional online elements to the course structure, so should there be a need to transition, we teach and students engage in online learning rather than remote learning. Join us for a conversation on the challenges that faculty are facing in preparing format flexible courses and some ideas to make the transition easier.
Message from Provost: “Many courses will be offered as hybrid/blended or hy-flex in the fall semester as a means to increase accessibility, flexibility, and reduce classroom demand. Both hybrid and fully-face-to-face courses must be designed as format flexible so that if we need to make a quick shift to remote instruction, it will occur as a seamless transition to an online experience for students that continues to be highly engaging and continues to meet all of the student learning objectives for the course.”
Presenters:
- Lorie Holt, Associate Professor and Director of the Dental Hygiene Degree Completion Program
- Tammie Schaefer, Associate Professor of Accounting
- Tanya Villalpando Mitchell, Professor and Director of the Graduate Dental Hygiene Education Program
