Fostering Student and Faculty Ownership During a Pandemic
Sponsored by the Mathematics Standards in the First Two Years of College (IMPACT) Committee

There is every indication that online instruction will be the status quo.

This month Student Ownership of Learning will be defined and ideas for how faculty can help foster it will be presented. The discussion will also include other aspects of faculty ownership as they work towards engaged learning in the new normal.
