This workshop will include presentation and discussions of pedagogical approaches used during the shift to teaching at a distance during the COVID-induced closing of some campuses. As we often learn more from failure than success, this will include approaches that worked, as well as those that didn't. "Many people simply moved their teaching to Zoom, i.e., they did their standard teaching, but did it in front of a web-cam and broadcast it to their students. Others took more innovative approaches to the teaching that they had done in their classrooms." Perhaps more importantly, the shifts in lab-based instruction caused by students needing to work from non-campus locations were more dramatic.
Who should attend: Primarily BMB educators, but also all educators at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including new and established faculty members at all types of colleges and universities, teaching assistants and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in careers at primarily undergraduate institutions. Undergraduate and graduate students also are welcome attend so that they may share their insights and experiences during the Q&A and open discussion portions of the session.
