To:\u00a0 GMS Faculty and Staff In anticipation of phased opening of the campus,\u00a0 I have put together a GMS Education Recovery Working Group<\/u>with representative faculty and staff.\u00a0 This group has convened to identify and provide guidance to support the education needs for our faculty as we plan for the fall 2020 semester in accordance with University requirements and guidance.\u00a0 The group includes representatives for Master\u2019s research, Master\u2019s clinical, PhD, Education, Finance, Operations and Communications.\u00a0 In addition to myself (chair), the members of this group are the following:<\/p>\n Kimberly Arena; GMS Associate Director Student Affairs We are working from the premise that Boston University will be open for residential, on-campus learning in the fall semester.\u00a0 How<\/em> this education will be delivered is under discussion at all levels with respect to curriculum, operations, infrastructure, IT, EdMedia, Facilities and so forth.<\/p>\n Most of you have heard talk about a hybrid, synchronous teaching strategy- a mix of in-class and remote delivery during regular class time.\u00a0 The Working Group is aware that this may or may not work for all the GMS programs.\u00a0 We are also aware faculty have variable experiences with remote learning technologies.\u00a0 We are putting together a survey to ask you about your experiences with remote learning and your anticipated needs for your courses and your particular programs.\u00a0 Your responses to this survey are important as they will guide the planning.\u00a0 We will keep you updated frequently as we make progress.<\/p>\n With warm regards,<\/p>\n
