Their presentation explores һƷ̽»¨ College’s 24-month journey from zero online learning presence to 100% remote learning during the early months of Covid-19. Drs. Cindy and Heath Treharne will discuss the challenges and discoveries the college made as it transformed its entire program into online learning modules, as well as how the experience changed how the faculty present concepts, assess outcomes, and engage students.
Director of the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning Dr. Billie Harrington and Dean of Clinical Sciences Dr. Armand Rossi will present “Don’t Throw Out the Baby with the ‘Pandemic’ Bathwater: in Response to Covid-19” on April 14. The onset of the pandemic thrust thousands of educational systems into unchartered waters and encouraged innovative non-traditional program delivery. Drs.
