Q: Is there trained student help to do this? If so, how do we access them?
A: We're still trying to assemble our student working team for doing this. Part of the challenge is that we don't have a full understanding of the scope of the work-- We have so many questions: How many faculty members have content they need to deliver to the students in China? How much content? Will it be for the whole semester, or just parts? How many of these faculty members can (eventually) be trained to prepare videos on their own? How many will need student labor for the whole semester? Can some departments hire their own students, which we can then train? The questions go on and on. For the immediate needs, we do have a couple students in WCTS and a subset of our full time staff who are reading the same tutorials I posted above and will be on hand to help faculty get through at least the first few weeks. We'll be watching how all this is going and seeing how to we-- faculty and staff-- should/can adjust our processes and workflow as we go.
