Interesting finding from @insidehighered's 2022 survey of presidents. 3/4 of presidents rate their in-person courses this spring as excellent; just 27% say that about their hybrid courses and 19% about their fully online courses. Bias? Reality? https://t.co/S7zTrwXoNR

Interesting look at @HilbertCollege's move into online learning - unusual for a small private college, especially without significant help from an outside provider. @SuzanneMSmalley has the story: https://t.co/KeQv4bNEFv

Would love insights from the teaching and learning community on this ...

New on @IHElearning: Intriguing data on how pandemic affected #OER. Solid uptick in awareness of free, openly licensed course materials, but no growth in adoption. Were professors just too overwhelmed and trying to avoid overwhelming students with change? https://t.co/T3dPrZ7IRF

How did professors, students and colleges fare as instruction morphed last fall? New episode of @insidehighered's Key podcast features insights from @tytonpartners' Kristen Fox & @EveryLearnerNet's Jessica Rowland Williams, and answers encouraging and not: https://t.co/Cm9jE6xy6q

Professors in intro college courses express deep worries about how their students fared -- especially disadvantaged ones -- even as they sensed their own teaching and student learning generally improved from spring to fall. We analyze a new survey here: https://t.co/8f7ss6IEca

How prepared were faculty members to teach this fall? A new survey from @EveryLearnerNet and @tytonpartners offers insights on that (answers are pretty positive) but also how deeply concerned they remain about equity for disadvantaged students: https://t.co/jM16r0qgPz

How does the classroom (f2f and virtual) feel for instructors so far this fall? What changes have they made to improve student learning and keep themselves safe and sane? I explore in my column this week, 'Early Dispatches From the COVID-19 Classroom': https://t.co/1KAXqKYe29

[Transforming Teaching and Learning @IHElearning]

Folks: if your campus has physically reopened, classes have begun, and you've had some experiences teaching in the in-person or hybrid classroom you're willing to share with me and our readers, please DM me or email me at [email protected]. Thanks in advance.

Many colleges went pass/fail or otherwise embraced flexible assignments/assessments amid last spring's crisis. Many seem to be returning to "normal" grading this fall. But will teaching and learning be normal this fall? I explore the question, skeptically: https://t.co/ix3rVtfdiI

[Transforming Teaching and Learning @IHElearning]

@karissamconrad Where's the list?

[Transforming Teaching and Learning @IHElearning]

Teaching and learning folks: anyone interested in/willing to talk to me about how their college/university is approaching grading/assessment this fall, and how they are balancing continued flexibility with a return to quasi-"normal"? Pls DM me or share thoughts here.

Are lockdown browsers and proctoring systems the best way to stop students from cheating in online courses, or just the easiest way? David Rettinger, @tbertramgallant and Douglas Harrison explain why the better answer is better teaching: https://t.co/JNEtwmC8qj @wileyeducation

[Transforming Teaching and Learning @IHElearning]

To the extent instruction is virtual this fall, might more college and university professors experiment with virtual worlds like @secondlife, @OpenSimSU, @Sinespace? Experts from @caltech, @NOVAcommcollege share their thoughts: https://t.co/77iolpzUVa
