Teaching in the Disciplines,

With Compassion & Focus amid Disruption

A Compendium of Resources: Please Add to It!

 

Note: this document is now published to the web (which is a viewable version, not an editable version): I’m working on making access more stable and open! Note that many editors at once can cause it to lock access.  If that happens to you, just request access (of course, if it happens to you, you can’t see this). Readers might want to bookmark the published-to-web-link, and trust that the document will get unlocked within a few hours.  I’m monitoring it now that I know about the problem. -sh  

This document was originally started in March 2020, when North American higher education institutions started a rapid transition to remote instruction.  Its original intent was to share ideas

about how to keep teaching, with compassion,  when campuses are moving to remote instruction with very little lead time. As the pandemic continues, this document evolves, collecting resources, both disciplinary and general, about teaching in a pandemic.  At UVM, both the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Writing in the Disciplines program have started creating local resources, and we’ve been sharing links in a UVM teaching continuity Facebook group as well. This page collects useful resources so that faculty who want to dive a little deeper have places to start.  Readers can edit--please add!  The best thing we can do together is share ideas.

At UVM, all service-learning courses must transition non-classroom activities to remote delivery.  This includes for-credit internships.  The only non-classroom activities that can continue are practica in departments where these practica are licensing requirements.  

Resources for Students

Quick Transitions to Online Teaching

The resources in this section were written last March, when institutions were quickly pivoting to remote instruction.
