My University starts spring break tomorrow afternoon. As of today, spring break has been extended to a two week period to provide faculty an opportunity to convert all of our face to face classes to an online format. This will be the most difficult two weeks of work for me since the aftermath of Katrina. Rest assured, if the University has invested in training and preparation, students will not be teaching themselves. For faculty who have never taught online and/or have large class sections, teaching online will likely be more difficult than teaching face to face. We would absolutely prefer to see our students on-campus and for life as we knew it to continue. I feel sad for our students and student-athletes and our faculty. This is not what we signed up for and never anticipated such an event.
