ARIA 2021 Annual Meeting

Jim Garven, Baylor University

The COVID-19 pandemic created important challenges related to effective communication, engagement and collaboration with students and colleagues alike. In turn, the pandemic created opportunities to experiment with ways to overcome these challenges, particularly related to technology.

Even though many colleges and universities will return to face-to-face instruction during the upcoming academic year, we have learned that we can perform some aspects of academic life effectively online. In this presentation, I will share how I adapted my home office setup to transition during the pandemic from face-to-face to online interaction with students and colleagues and how I plan to incorporate lessons learned in my (hopefully) post-pandemic academic life.
