Dear College of Marin Faculty:

We have been working to develop additional resources and professional learning opportunities to assist you with remote instruction and student support strategies. The first, Fostering Well-being and a Community of Care During COVID-19, will take place this Friday and you will receive a separate Zoom invitation. Additional sessions will be forthcoming (dates and times TBA) and include:

Engaging students online: Tools to increase student engagement and peer connections
Screencasts and Video Recordings: Creating, storing, and sharing
Using Canvas Pages: Increasing the accessibility of your course content
Beyond Zoom – Diversifying instructional practices in the remote learning environment
Exams – Design and facilitating; Proctorio; other options for students who do not have cameras/access to be able to use Proctorio
Shifting our practices – What are some ways we can provide instruction remotely that depart from regular face-to-face practices?

These sessions will be recorded and made available if you are not able to attend the live meeting. Additionally, the Statewide Academic Senate is providing a series of discipline-specific webinars you may find useful. See below my signature line for details.

Please reach out if you need anything at any time. Again, thank you—and stay safe and be well.
