Distance Teaching
Questions & Answers
College of
Education, Lab 203
This open-ended session is intended to provide answers
regarding teaching at a distance – where to get specific help or
training, how to ensure learning objectives are satisfied on campus and
at a distance, how to assess distance student performance, and just
what do you mean by “asynchronous?” Whatever the question, we'll get
answers, and perhaps identify topics for future expanded workshop
coverage.

too? This will include two short presentations to be followed by a
discussion session, and cake and punch will be
served!
