So basically all I think about all day every day is how to survive the responsibilities of my person life while also working towards ensuring a quality learning experience for my students in fall. The way to do that is to plan for online delivery.

Faculty are not magical superhero unicorns that can plan a course for f2f learning & switch it to a quality online learning experience at a moment& #39;s notice. This completely denies the reality of how much time and effort goes into planning and executing a quality course.

Online learning and f2f are two entirely different animals. I need to plan to be online because the reality is that an outbreak at my university means classes are cancelled. A second wave means classes are cancelled. My daycare closes, I can& #39;t be on campus. My kids school closes

I can& #39;t be on campus. I have a sick kid, I can& #39;t be on campus. My students are also affected by all of the above, and more, so I can& #39;t expect that they can be consistently on campus.

This is why I& #39;m spending every waking moment thinking about and learning about online delivery.

The suggestion that planning for online learning isn& #39;t putting students needs first really gets all the way under my skin.
