Third Monday Host Notes

Hi TOPcast Insiders!

One year in, we hope you are persevering in our on-going pandemic response within higher education using a combination of well-designed online courses and ad hoc, emergency remote instruction. Hopefully we will all be in better circumstances one year from now. Meanwhile, if we can be of any assistance in addressing topics or pointing to resources you would find useful, please let us know at topcast@ucf.edu.

- Tom and Kelvin
