The New Digital Classroom

For a year and a half, faculty members have worked quickly and tirelessly to learn about online teaching and online teaching tools. In fact, 91 percent of professors and instructors surveyed told The Chronicle their role required a greater understanding of technology than before. Now that colleges are reopening the classrooms that have long sat vacant, what will faculty do with their newfound knowledge? And how are colleges equipped to meet the needs of faculty who may wish to incorporate new teaching technologies in their physical classrooms?
In this virtual forum, The New Digital Classroom, a panel of technologists and academic leaders will join Ian Wilhelm, an assistant managing editor at The Chronicle, for a discussion of the campus classroom’s digital future.
During this special hourlong forum, our panel will discuss:
- How newfound technological know-how could change how faculty teach in the physical classroom
- How colleges can improve classrooms to suit the high-tech needs of faculty today.
- Potential upgrades to facilities and digital infrastructure
- Essential training for staff members in the wake of higher ed’s remote learning experiment
