Guides for students on remote learning, using Zoom, and more. Should be ready by early next week.
Templates for student messages. We will have template messages faculty can use to let students know about how courses and sections will operate (asynchronously, synchronously), what technology will be required, and where help videos/material are located. Should be ready late this week/early next.
Contacting faculty teaching larger courses - we will be in touch with faculty teaching larger courses, especially those with sections, by mid-late this week.
On the Horizon
