[Faculty] Virtual Instruction and Online Teaching Champions

[Yusuf Ozturk]

Hi Fletcher,



The answer is yes. If you are online ready  you do not need to take a
pause.  The pause is to allow faculty to switch to online and get familiar
with the new territory. Announce to your students that instruction will
move to online and continue teaching as scheduled.    If you need support
let us know.



Regards

Yusuf

Hi Yusuf,



I would like to add my related question as to whether we can start online
teaching next week, March 16th, if we do not feel we need a "pause" for our
classes.  I just planning to hold my lectures using Zoom.  I haven't ever
done that, but I am familiar with the software so I thought I would just
give it a try next week to see how it works.



thanks, I know it's a chaotic time for you.



Fletcher

Hi Yusuf:

I was under the impression that we would start our online instruction on
April 6.  Are we expected to start on March 23?  I am confused about the
status of the week preceding the break and do not feel this has been
addressed explicitly in the emails we have received.

Can you clarify this?

Thanks.

Allen

College of Engineering Faculty,



Over the years some of our faculty participated in  online teaching
workshops and developed online courses in our program.  I  have asked
their  help as we are  transitioning to online mode of teaching. They
generously  volunteered to help our faculty with their  questions regarding
best practices in online course development and delivery.  I would like to
thank Drs. Nguyen, Venkataraman, Demasi, Aksanli and Valdes for
volunteering  to help us  at this challenging time. Their information is
listed below.



Dr. Duy H. N. Nguyen duy.nguyen at sdsu.edu

Dr. Satchi Venkataraman satchi at sdsu.edu

Dr. Luciano Demasi ldemasi at mail.sdsu.edu

Dr. Baris Aksanli baksanli at sdsu.edu

Dr. Julio Valdes jvaldes at sdsu.edu



I am going to be in my office  all day tomorrow and  will be happy help our
faculty  with any questions they may have.  If   you have any questions and
would like to schedule some time on your schedule please let me know to add
to my schedule.   I think  we have a very easy streamlined process for
online lecturing.  We will make sure every faculty member can use the tools
to develop and offer courses online .  We  have a few issues to be cleared
related to exams and several of us are looking for options and developing
ideas.



We will also  distribute step by step instructions for lecturing on zoom,
mediasite and Camtasia.



If you are not fluent in using blackboard please do not hesitate to contact
me we will try to setup a meeting with the ITS technicians.



Regards

Yusuf
