How can we switch up planned meetings from Face to Face to Online if people stop traveling?
Some principles when doing online vs. presence
What does NOT work well online?
Daily, weekly sort of stuff.
How do we move our regular thematic meetings online. Remote teams that have quarterly F2F; trainings, etc.
“We have important work to do that we have traditionally gathered F2F to do. We can’t NOT do this work. How do we do it?”
I.e. How do we move a big F2F event online - quickly? Should we? Should we postpone? Decision making criteria? Risk issues of NOT moving online?
As we practice physical social distancing to avoid virus transmission, how can we virtually support isolated individuals w/ the virus or caring for those with the virus? This can range from social/emotional support, to coordinating physical support (delivery of groceries, helping with child or elder care, etc.)
This is beyond the “how to learn online” (see Education section above). Possible areas for focus: supporting students with no access to internet, parents w/ no childcare, food insecure families, teacher isolation (my bet is the kids won’t be getting sick, but teachers will and kids will be vectors to take virus home to extended family - this is a big domino effect area)
