For short-term asynchronous instruction, here are a few options to consider.

  • Focus on the learning experiences, practices, and activities most important for student鈥檚 academic development.
  • Adjust due dates and assignment/exam dates, allowing time as necessary for students to return to learning.

  • Continue to be flexible with individual students that may be dealing with greater losses and challenges from the disruption.
