[QUOTE="drd1135, post: 372437, member: 1094"] We’re closed. We had a few seminars today (130 person room limited to 24 people) to get a run down on the available software. The seminars were also available remotely. We have no online courses so both the faculty and ITS are learning all of this in a two week period before the courses open again. Our plan for labs is to demo the labs on video and send data to the students. Not ideal, but workable. I will record classes as videos using my slides from my office. We’re try to be as “asynchronous” as possible. Once a week, I will conduct video conferences with the class. I will answer questions using a web cam and a pad. It’s hard to do “determine the pH of a 0.2 M solution of Formic acid” without writing it out. I will use the test bank from the textbook company to create multiple choice tests. The funny part is that most studies have shown that “solve the problem” tests and MC tests give essentially the same results as an evaluative tool. Individual questions are submitted via email and answered on a pad with a cam phone snapshot. I can do the whole thing in my undies. Welcome to Higher Ed, 2020. [/QUOTE]
