From Tawnya Means
This session provided an overview of practical strategies to shift scheduled face-to-face class sessions to a remote delivery format when faculty must cancel class, whether due to illness, conference travel, family emergencies, or special events such as Election Day. We also discussed policies adopted by some institutions, which recommend faculty to prepare for remote asynchronous instructional delivery on Election Day, encouraging active student civic engagement. We reviewed best practices for asynchronous instruction to ensure that instruction is not interrupted even when a scheduled class cannot proceed as planned.
