Re: Fall 2021 modalities/social distancing plans?

Hi Maria and all,

At Carroll we don't have the classroom space to maintain COVID capacities that allow for social distancing and to go back to nearly all in-person instruction, so for the sake of creating our initial Fall 2021 schedule we are planning for the status quo -- scheduling rooms under their current COVID capacities and keeping faculty who are currently teaching remotely or hybrid as such. We figured that, should circumstances allow us to return to "normal" next fall, it will be easier to increase capacities on rooms and make the moves necessary to slide the remote classes into a room than it will be to have to reduce capacities and completely reconfigure the room schedule like we had to this past summer. That's our current thinking at least!

Best,
Cassie

As of right now our schedule is reflecting face-to-face instruction however for classroom space we will still working under Covid-19 guidelines.  But as we have all learned this last year and a half we have to pivot on a dime depending on what news comes out so who knows what that will look like as we get closer to fall.

 

I'm thinking more questions and concerns will come out from faculty in June, July, August regarding remote/hybrid/online instruction   I'm guessing that conversation will be based on availability and use of vaccine and what types of variants are in Montana by that point in time.  That last paragraph is purely a personal assumption based on what I'm observing around us.

Subject: Fall 2021 modalities/social distancing plans?

 

Dear colleagues,

 

What directives/plans do you have in place for fall 2021 course scheduling and registration?  Are institutions going back to "pre-COVID" conditions in terms of increasing room capacities?  Will social distancing measurements be relaxed for face-to-face instruction (e.g. 3 feet instead of 6 feet)?  Will "remote" or "hybrid/hyflex" modalities continue or be greatly reduced?  We're curious…

 

Thanks for any info you can provide. 

 

Best regards,

Maria
