I don’t know about you, but for me this week has felt pretty quiet. You know, the kind of quiet that precedes a big storm or the quiet of the water drawing back from the beach to become part of a really big wave…
Brace yourselves… the start of the Spring 2021 semester is almost upon us!
To help you prepare for it, here’s what’s brewing:
- Protocols for In-Person Teaching
- Tech Tip: Advising in Aviso – Why am I Missing Advisees?
- Canvas: Fresh Start – Links to the seminar sessions at the VSC Retreat on 1/15/2021 and a look at what we did well based on the data from the Canvas Student Survey

- Have You Seen…? These upcoming free webinars?
- Spruce Up Your Syllabus by Provost Mauhs-Pugh
