The Future of Distance Education Symposium

What will the California Community Colleges new normal look like post-COVID-19? What role will distance education play in the future of our colleges? Join the Faculty Association of the California Community Colleges (FACCC) and the Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges (ASCCC) in a panel discussion about the future of distance education and faculty’s role in shaping it.

There is no charge to attend this event and more information may be found on the FACCC event page.

The CVC-OEI is partnering with the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) on its 2020 Virtual Academic Academy: Redefining Distance Education, taking place October 8-9.
Interruptions in education are not new. Snow days, extreme heat, floods, and earthquakes can all lead to temporary school closures. In addition, California’s students may experience the extended disruption and devastating impact of fires. But a global pandemic requiring social distancing and the sudden cessation of traditional classroom instruction for an undefined time period is a force so impactful that our evolution is forced – is it education’s Big Bang, where we will emerge anew? Or is it our Ice Age, leading to the extinction of select species and the rapid evolution of the survivors? This year’s ASCCC Academic Academy will explore the impact of our recent history on the future of education. Join us as we explore the use of open and online approaches to finding ways to redefine instruction and assessment, create more equitable learning environments, address long-standing inequities exacerbated by reliance on technology, and improve the success of all students.
Registration is only $200 and may be completed on the ASCCC’s website.

With COVID pandemic, virtual labs are now a requirement rather than a "nice to have".  There are many technologies and strategies that can complement and substitute for face-to-face STEM labs that are no longer viable due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To help higher education institutions and faculty successfully respond to this new requirement.   MERLOT and OLC will be offering for FREE , a 3 day "IDEATE" conference on strategies for teaching STEM labs online with various technologies.
