#CovidCampus: Doing the Best We Can To “Go Remote” in Higher Ed This @BreakDrink we bring you a special podcast in light of the evolving situation and events due to the Coronavirus. On this episode, we have a digital round table on transition to remote teaching, learning, students support, and work in higher education with podcast hosts @Profpatrice, @ Katie__Linder, @jeffjacksonTX, @bonni208, & @laurapasquini. We decided to come together for a purpose to reflect and share about the state of things we are doing, thinking about, and planning for as college and university institutions shutdown across the US. We talk about a range of plans, support, and strategies to be implemented and how we are “doing the best we can” as COVID-19 impacts our campus communities.
