MIT Press Live! Webinar Invitation

April 3, 2020 By DegreeofFreedom in Filed Under: Uncategorized

On April 7, the release date for Critical Thinking Essentials, I’ll be giving a live webinar entitled Essential Knowledge for a Time of Crisis, part of the MIT Press Virtual Book Talk series taking place – you guessed it – via Zoom.

You’re all invited to register here for an event that will take place on Tuesday, April 7, 12:30-1:30, EST US time.  I hope you can make it and pass the invite along to anyone else who might be interested.

Also, new video: 10 Key Points for Remote Teaching

In addition to putting up a resource page that includes links to documents from academic associations, state departments of education, colleges and universities and other educators to support teachers navigating a fast transition to remote learning, I’ve also just distilled that information into a short, animated video entitled 10 Key Points for Remote Teaching, available free on YouTube. 

Like the mini-course released a couple of weeks ago that covered how to apply professional test-design principles to creating assessments and assignments for online courses, the new video is subtitled and Creative Common licensed, so pass it along to anyone who could use a boost, and feel free to make use if it in any other way that can help out.
