IDEAS TO CONSIDER: Given the shift to online delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic:
- How are assessment practices changing?
- What novel and inventive ways are being developed to engage students through both asynchronous and synchronous delivery?
- How will work-based training, experiential learning, and student-led research change?
- How will inclusive spaces be maintained, in teaching and learning, and in research?
- How do we approach resilience and wellness during this time? How do we help students and community members with their resilience and wellness?
- What does community building look like in virtual spaces?
- How are we engaging in research and supporting scholarship in virtually connected environments?
