Adapting Live Classes

COVID-19 has changed the way teaching and learning will be conducted for Fall 2020 and beyond.  While in-person teaching will resume at Christopher Newport University, social distancing will be a reality and some students may not be able to fully participate in in-person coursework.  This course will cover techniques for distributing and collecting materials, taking attendance, and maximizing the ability of remote students to participate in coursework.
