Third Monday Host Notes

Hi TOPcast Insiders!

How are your COVID-19 (coronavirus) preparations proceeding? What is working well? What isn’t? Along with helping your institution, have you been able to clarify the difference between well-designed online courses and emergency “remote teaching” protocols? Please share your stories with us, and let us know if there is anything we might address that could help. Tell us about it at topcast@ucf.edu.
