Dear Colleagues,
Enclosed are some updates from the Faculty Hub.
Back-to-Teaching event
All who are teaching in fall 2020 or staff who support teaching are invited to attend a full University Back-to-Teaching Symposium on Wednesday, August 19 from 9-10:30 a.m. Updates on the latest information and resources available will be provided by representatives from the Faculty Senate, Provost’s Office, Teaching and Scholarship Hub, Information Services, Academic Integration, Library, and Human Resources followed by Q&A. Faculty Senate leaders will moderate the Q & A. To submit a question before the event, please send your question to Faculty Senate President Thad Williamson. Please add this Zoom link for the Back-to-Teaching event to your calendar (also noted here for your reference: https://urichmond.zoom.us/j/96904902028)
Experiments in Blended Teaching
Thanks to the faculty and staff who helped us experiment with blended classroom approaches yesterday. Special thanks to Professors Jane Berry, Saif Mekhari, and Jessica Erickson for their micro-teaching segments. The Faculty Hub has produced another tip sheet with our recommendations for small and large group discussion when teaching in-class and remote students simultaneously that can be found here: https://richmond.box.com/s/ytadu2s7aop9ai1ao2nxsgtoj35i1uwb. Special thanks to Andrew Bell for leading this work.
Thank you for all you are doing under these challenging circumstances.
Best wishes,
Linda
