Episode description

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused nearly all higher ed institutions in the U.S. to switch their campus-based courses to remote delivery, and on very short notice. There’s already been quite a lot of media coverage on the challenges this change poses for instructors and institutions. 

Later in this season of Wired Ivy, we’ll be talking to a friend and colleague about her experiences making that transition from decades of experience as a face-to-face educator to remote delivery, mid-way through the term, and with very little time to prepare.  But we felt it would also be instructive to hear a variation on that story... by speaking to Dr. Olivia Marcucci, a newly minted PhD who accepted a full-time faculty position with an online doctoral program in Fall 2019.
