Agenda

CIRTL VIRTUAL Network Meeting


Update March 11, 2020

Dear Colleagues,

The times are rapidly evolving, on a daily if not hourly basis, as a result of the COVID-19 virus. Many of us are deeply immersed with campus-wide planning and preparations in response to the virus, or are being asked on very short notice to convert our classes to an online format. Quite a few CIRTL colleagues have let us know that these local efforts are all-encompassing in time and attention.

Given these developments in the short week since we cancelled our spring In-Person meeting, it is clear that an online meeting this Friday cannot be widely inclusive of our community, and assuredly even those able to attend will be distracted by global, campus and life events. The wise path forward is to postpone our Virtual In-Person meeting.

We still do plan to hold the Virtual In-Person meeting this spring. The work put into planning the virtual sessions has been terrific, and will be valuable when we are all better situated.

The Leadership Team and CIRTL Central staff have been brainstorming on how the CIRTL community can help each other, our campus colleagues, and our future faculty (many of whom are graduate teaching assistants) to navigate these changes in their ways of teaching. More news on those ideas soon.

Until then, the CIRTL Central staff have posted some initial ideas in the CIRTL Team Learning Community at :https://www.cirtl.net/communities/2/discussions . (Login Required. Let us know if you have trouble accessing the link.) We welcome your ideas and feedback.

We are proud of your contributions to CIRTL and hope that your collaborations across the Network have helped prepare you for the dynamic times that we are in.

Sincerely,

Kitch & Bob
