Hello MiDE 300 folks. It is time to get things rolling again, as class officially starts back up tomorrow! We realize that many of you are still in transition, so we are going to ease back into this and work together to make the rest of the semester as successful as possible for each of you.
We first want to say that we know these are unique times. We are feeling it too. First priority goes to your health and well being. We are both available to jump on a phone call to chat. Please just reach out if you need anything or just have some questions / concerns.
Let’s start class back up with a with a video chat tomorrow during our normal class time. We can discuss how everyone is doing and modifications to the course to accommodate for remote learning. A calendar invite will go out shortly. The link to the video chat is embedded in the calendar event.
- It is NOT required that you join the video chat. We realize there are a variety of time zones, transition points, and technology situations. If you are available / able it would be great to get to check in with each of you. We will record the chat and post to the class website as soon as possible after the call for those that cannot join in.
- We recommend trying the video chat technology before the chat starts. We will be joining with video and audio. You can join with your computer or phone with audio and/or video. Because of the large volume of video chats going on around the world these technologies may struggle to keep up and there may be technical difficulties during our call. We will work through it.
If you have not yet filled out the Technology Survey please do so as soon as possible. If you have technology limitations on any front, don’t worry–we will adjust. Please communicate them to us so we can make a plan with you.
We hope everyone is doing okay. Stay safe. Talk soon.
Profs Smith and Allen
