Spring 2020 v Fall 2020

The chart below should serve as a helpful heuristic synopsis.

	Spring 2020	Fall 2020
Instructional Modality	Emergency Remote Teaching: little time to prepare online materials or redesign courses.	Resilient Pedagogy: intentional planning for flexibility to ensure quality, mitigate potential disruptions and increase equity for in-person and remote students.
Building Community	In-person connections with and between students were sustained during an involuntary pivot online.	We aim to create community with and among students, some of whom may be taking courses remotely.
Assessments (exams, papers, projects)	It was difficult to assess learning remotely while maintaining security, esp. in high- stakes exams; we made ad hoc changes.	We encourage more frequent assessments that can be delivered online to live and remote students to offer parity of experience.
Technologies	We rapidly adopted Sakai, Zoom, Panopto tools and asynchronous strategies; ad hoc implementation.	We aim for intentional design and use of key technologies to support course goals, enhance learning, and increase equity.
Student Perceptions	Gratitude for instructors’ commitment and flexibility	Expectation of high quality, coherent, and well-designed learning experiences.
