Hi there,I hope you are doing well in this time of uncertainty. As you transition your courses to online formats, I wanted to pass along some resources that may be useful.?Above all, I want to encourage you to reach out to Morgridge Center staff and me if you have questions or want support in determining how to move forward with your courses. We are happy to work with you to redesign your course, adjust your syllabus, reconfigure assignments, reconsider grading, and so forth, and would be happy to consult with you individually. Here are some resources that may be helpful:General resourcesCampus Compact?is doing a wonderful job of updating a blog post to support their engaged institutions and courses. They have a number of resources, including options for virtual volunteering and an amazing community-curated google?spreadsheet?of online teaching resources.Instructional continuityYou have likely seen this, but if not,?here?is the UW page about instructional continuity during disruptions.?This?is also a fabulous resource from Stanford about moving your class online, and here is another?spreadsheet?of resources about specifically moving your course online for COVID-19.Supporting studentsThis?resource?from Vanderbilt describes ways of supporting students after a crisis. While it was developed after 9/11, there are helpful ideas for supporting students in other situations. I am also attaching a short document from the World Health Organization about mental health considerations at this time, and this?resource?also has some good advice about caring for your mental health during this unfolding situation.AccessibilityStudent accessibility in online environments is an important consideration.?Here?is a more comprehensive resource from UW, and?here?is another resource about creating accessible online courses.Reflection resourcesThis may be an appropriate time to engage in more reflection with your students, including connecting the current public health emergency to your course and content. The Center for Civic Reflection has some?resources?and discussion questions that may be relevant for your course. This?spreadsheet?also has some reflection ideas, too. This?episode?of NPR's Code Switch focuses on COVID-19 and racism and xenophobia, which may also be a useful reflection resource. I am also attaching a resource Loyola developed about specific reflection questions around COVID-19.Alternative service or community engagementI realize that being unable to send students into the community is very disruptive in a number of ways. You may want to consider asking community partners if any of the following tasks might be helpful, which students can do remotely:conducting background research or gathering best practices or other information requested the partner(s);taping, recording, or streaming performances or workshops to benefit community partner(s);creating digital and other social media content, print program materials, or other methods for information-sharing;undertaking assessment, evaluation, or feedback via phone or web-based services;offering (or compiling, researching, or brainstorming) strategies that provide indirect support from volunteers as a result of coronavirus;conducting virtual or phone-based educational supports for youth and adultsCommunity partner communicationLast, here is the language we sent yesterday that may be helpful in communicating with community partners:“Thank you for your role as a co-educator of our students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. UW-Madison is working hard to keep our community safe and healthy, and in response to the risk of COVID-19 or novel coronavirus, UW-Madison has decided to move in-person classes to online instruction modes starting March 14 until at least April 10 to limit the spread and impact of the virus. This means that students will not be able to work with community partners as part of their community-based learning course and will need to discontinue their in-person work with your organization. We are disappointed, but the health and safety of our collective community is our utmost priority. If students are able to continue their work with you online, that is strongly encouraged.We realize this is disruptive for your organization, and are very sorry for this disturbance. We hope that your organization and its community can stay healthy throughout this health event.If you have questions about the UW-Madison response to COVID-19, please reach out to University Health Services at?uhs@uhs.wisc.edu.?To learn more about UW-Madison’s response to COVID-19, please refer to?this resource.If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Haley Madden at?hmadden@wisc.edu?or 608.770.1811 at the Morgridge Center for Public Service."I hope this list is useful, and the Morgridge Center will stay in communication as things unfold. Again, please do reach out as needed.Take good care,HaleyRemote Teaching Resources: Effectively During Times of Disruption, for SIS and PWRJenae Cohn, Academic Technology Specialist for PWR, jdcohn@stanford.edu?Beth Seltzer, Academic Technology Specialist for Introductory Studies, bethseltzer@stanford.edu?Find this again at bit.ly/stanfordteachingdisruption?Last updated 3/12/20 INCLUDEPICTURE "" \* MERGEFORMATINET Feel free to remix for your own institutional contexts!PEDAGOGY IN TIMES OF DISRUPTIONCurrent Stanford Policies and RecommendationsSynchronous vs. Asynchronous?Identifying Key Tools and Functions within CanvasWhat is Zoom?SHIFTING YOUR CLASSES ONLINEOption 1: Run Your Class Live With ZoomOption 2: Pre-Record Your LecturesOption 3: Skip the VideoOffice HoursOTHER USE CASESStudent PresentationsPedagogical Recommendations:Student-Facing Language to Help Students Understand Options for Final Presentations (hat tip to Sarah Pittock and Jennifer Johnson)Using Canvas for Announcements, Sharing Material, Collecting Assignments, and GradingWritten DiscussionsChatIndividual Students Using Zoom to Attend In-Person Classes (Small, Discussion-Based)Live-Streaming In-Person LecturesScheduling Tools for Student Tutorials/ConferencesPeer ReviewMeetings with Teaching TeamsResources for Lab and ExamsRESOURCES TO LEARN MOREGeneral Tips for Teaching Online:Resources for Online Writing InstructionStanford ResourcesTECH TUTORIAL: GETTING STARTED WITH ZOOM AND CANVASTrimming Your VideoAbout this Doc ................
