Online Learning at Georgetown: Faculty Perspectives

Friday, September 28th Hariri Building, Rm. 450 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. "I started the online class with what I thought was a good plan: re-create online what I had done in a recent seminar. It didn’t work." - Doug Ward, University of Kansas, ProfHacker blog (The Chronicle of Higher Education) Is online teaching really different from teaching face-to-face?

  • Oded Meyer (Mathematics and Statistics) and Parina Patel (School of Foreign Service) will describe their experiences developing online content to teach statistics
  • Sherry Steeley (Center for Language Education and Development) will explain how she adapts her teaching approach for an asynchronous, distance-learning context
  • Mary Bondmass (NHS) will share a behind-the-scenes perspective on the large-scale Nursing @ Georgetown online degree program
