@UBC faculty, staff, students, postdocs and TAs are invited to hop online and learn how Vantage One instructors pivoted to remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that students would be able to complete their academic year. During these challenging times, our instructors were able to rapidly adapt their course delivery to adjust to the new normal. RSVP today to receive Zoom webinar link http://bit.ly/38SGlK8

New Podcast episodes! In this 2-episode series, we discuss the sudden shift to emergency online teaching that occurred in late March 2020. In part 1, we speak with Brian Wilson about his role in helping Vantage make this very quick transition. Brian was an important contributor to moving Vantage online in a relatively smooth and successful manner. However, the transition was not without its challenges, and he shares insight into how it all transpired, and the immense people p...ower that was required to make it all come together so quickly. We also discuss the lessons learned, and what this could mean for the future of online course delivery. As people begin exploring different ways of doing assessments, tasks and activities, both instructors and students may gain a greater appreciation of what else is possible. Listen to the teaser from part 1 below, then visit bit.ly/VantagePodcast to hear the full episode.
