Community Generated Resources & Frequently Asked Questions
The Online Pedagogy CoP will be adaptable and flexible to meet the ongoing needs of its participants. There will be some focused affinity groups for specific topical discussions as well as a broader community for sharing, commiserating, and collaborating. We imagine that there will be both synchronous and asynchronous opportunities for participation. We are anticipating participation in the CoP to be largely remote (or with a remote option) during the fall 2021 term.
