“Online Learning Week” at Baruch

This fall, the week of November 5 will be Online Learning Week at Baruch. All members of the faculty—full-time and adjunct, those with lots of online experience and those with little or none—are encouraged to experiment that week with broadening their experience by going a step or two further than they’ve gone before. How to go about that (or not) is up to you of course: for many this might involve moving one class that week to an online format; for others who have already taught “hybrid” classes (half face-to-face, half online) a further step might be a week of classes that are entirely online; for those with less online experience, making use (or more extended use) of an online discussion board might be the way to go. Again: up to you!

In the weeks leading up, the CTL is available through planned workshops and one-on-one consulting to help members of the faculty discuss and test options that suit the individual goals of the course. (Chairs should notify faculty if a particular course should not participate.)

The idea is to try something new. The goal, as it must be, is learning—student and faculty learning.
