COVID-19 Continuity of Instruction
We have created this dashboard to measure and chronicle the work being done in continuing teaching and learning in response to pandemic. It provides evidence of our efforts and over time will help us to understand how faculty are teaching remotely and how students are accessing information. It may inform a shift in resources. Below you will find links to
- Memos from Dr. Rai, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
- Information on remote teaching and learning
- Data illustrating technology and resource use
