I personally don\u2019t want to be just, you know, on Zoom with the camera, like at like, a three quarter angle from below half staring up my nose, while I drone on about math to a bunch of people that are sitting there, you know, with all kinds of distractions in the background. That\u2019s, I think, the idea that students and the public have about online learning. And I know at least there are, there are faculty, the faculty I\u2019ve spoken to are, we\u2019re making a real effort to make sure that\u2019s not the case. We want to deliver the same quality education.

And I had done no prep for moving things online. And I had no idea where to begin. And naively just trying to continue as I would have, if I had a classroom was not I learned very quickly, it wasn\u2019t going to work, but by the time I learned that myself It was too late to really salvage anything. So I can understand why people have a bad experience with online learning. I do too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betti is optimistic about the fall semester now that he has had more time to modify his courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lecturer Holly Morgan has taught over five online courses since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She says students should not base their opinion of online learning exclusively on what happened in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/July-17-MORGAN-1.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI really hope students take away from this is not to judge too harshly their professors\u2019 or their University\u2019s capabilities with online learning based on what they saw at the end of that last term. Because that wasn\u2019t online learning, that was online learning as an emergency pandemic response. And so those were not online classes. Those were classes that immediately had to pivot online. That was professors and students, really everybody, communities, living through a crisis trying their best to salvage a semester that at Mount A had already been a little bit disrupted and was already being rebuilt and reshuffled.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan says that planning is essential in order to deliver an online course successfully.<audio src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/July-17-MORGAN-2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/July-17-MORGAN-2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThose were not courses that were developed to be online.
