Peer-to-Peer Chat Groups (P2P)
Peer-to-Peer Chat Groups (P2P) use the Google Chat Rooms feature to create informal, asynchronous spaces to ask questions, share struggles, exchange resources, and provide encouragement related to a particular topic. These faculty groups will be active September 14 - October 19 (with the option to extend). The chat facilitator will post a relevant video, article, infographic or photo twice a week. Participants will respond with comments, further questions or related resources.
If you are interested in participating in one of the inaugural groups, please register through our event calendar. The first topics include:
Engaging Students in COVID Classrooms
Flex Ed
Tech Tips and Tricks
