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?
