Summary:

"The pandemic has wrought extraordinary changes in course delivery and instruction, leading to conversations among college leaders and faculty members about what effective teaching looks like. Although being on campus together will be safer this fall, the new semester is unlikely to mark a return to normal classrooms - and many instructors and students think it shouldn't. This report offers a holistic examination of post-pandemic teaching that will help you decide what kinds of instruction your institution should offer and how best to support faculty members and students to teach and learn effectively."-- Provided by publisher
