I have watched a couple of sessions by different speakers on what their institutions did during the transition to remote online teaching. I find the variety of approaches and “lessons learned” fascinating. Tonight, I watched an ALT 2021 session entitled “Reflections on hybrid flexible learning” by Michael Detyna from King’s College London. Detyna talked about […]
What a day! Great meetings and lots of running around! Tonight’s ALT 2021 session was presented by a team and entitled “We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm”: An exploration of the student experience of the shift to fully online teaching in response to the Covid19 Pandemic” […]

Michelle Bartlett and Carroll Warren from North Carolina State University recorded several presentations for the Lilly Conference Online 2021. This is the second one I watch.

Bartlett […]

Therefore, I played a Lilly Conference Online 2021 recorded session entitled “Instructor Presence in Asynchronous Online Classes: Not Just a Façade” by Sharon Watson from the University of Delaware. Watson began describing the empirical research study they developed that […]
We spent the day at the beach! The weather was great, the kids were wild, and we did not lose any items! Success. I even did an RLOE talk from the minivan with a sleeping Aurelio! Yay! He woke up in time to say hi to attendees. Tonight, Amada requested her nightly story. We watched […]
Diane F. Morean from Elmhurst University and Katherine H. Cassidy from Cleveland Metropolitan School District presented at the Lilly Conference online 2021 in May a recorded presentation entitled: “Enhancing Equitable Online Condensed Course Learning Through Backward Design, including Meta-Learning.” Morean teaches a neurology class and sought Cassidy’s expertise in education. They wanted to condense the […]

Rob Farrow described a project called Pathways to Learning that was funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund program. Farrow and colleagues rapidly created a pair […]
