Connecting with Students in Times of Crisis
Monday lunch (11:30-12:50)
Monday afternoon (2:00-3:00)
How can faculty connect with our students and keep our students connected to each other in times of crisis? In this session, we’ll talk about how faculty can respond to students with care and discuss tools for synchronous class interactions. While these interactions won’t recreate the face-to-face classroom experience, they can make us feel more like a community.

Using Videos to Teach
