[Factc] COVID-19 planning

Mon Mar 16 13:11:22 PDT 2020

Hi Jim, Jen, and all,
We are going online for Spring but haven't been given essential details yet and the college has not officially announced it yet.  I think the Canvas work alike groups might be helpful - that  would be an awful lot of groups to set up and notify people about them.  Perhaps just a discipline group since I doubt there are very many faculty who just teach one of the classes in the discipline.  I have  7 or 8 common classes that I teach in two disciplines so I'd rather join 2 groups than 7.  But that is just me and probably not typical.

At our campus we have already been sharing tips and information on our internal faculty listserv.

I have also been composing a message about the Spring meeting in my head for the last week.  I hope to get something out.  Hint, I think we should take the meeting online but I want to consider options to spread it out so we aren't on the computer for four hours each day.  More on this later.  I'd also like to talk to Jen about ATL before any decisions are made.

Thanks, Jim! This is a great question.
One thing we are kicking around ... what if we had system-level "Work alike" groups of faculty who could learn together around this sort of burning issue/question? They could meet via Zoom and also have a listserv or a Canvas shell.
So for example, we could have a "work-alike" fully online system-level CoP for faculty who teach CHEM&123 ... and they could be facilitated through an inquiry process to create new ways to handle this adaptive challenge of teaching labs online.
Does that make sense?

“The problems of racism in writing classrooms are not primarily pedagogical problems to solve alone. Racism is an assessment problem, which can only be fully solved by changing the system of assessment, by changing the classroom writing assessment ecology. Thus assessment must be reconceived as an antiracist ecology.”

Hi everyone,

Just checking to see what’s happening on other campuses. Whatcom is finishing this quarter online and moving all classes next quarter online. Current concern centers around lab classes online. Have any of you heard of possible solutions for this?

Thanks,

Jim
