POD Conference 2021

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational developers were often trying to scramble to keep up with the changing circumstances and institutional expectations. This session provides an opportunity for shared reflection about how the pandemic reinforced important core principles of effective instructional design and pedagogy and challenged us to re-examine some aspects of teaching and learning that we thought we knew. In addition to looking back at those lessons, this session will provide an opportunity to share how pandemic-imposed pedagogical experiences are leading to changes, and how we can support each other and our institutions in moving forward.
