We’ve created the CUNY Distance Learning Archive to document the transition to online instruction at CUNY during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. Please contribute via the link in our bio! – We invite contributions from CUNY faculty, students, and staff that document their experience of this moment. Please also submit: * Public Emails and communications discussing moving CUNY resources and teaching online. * Administrative instructions regarding teaching. * Learning resources developed during the transition. We are also preserving public threads from social media such as Twitter and Reddit. We welcome your submissions and questions. Our intent is to document this important moment of instructional transition at the nation’s largest public urban university. Please submit: * Personal narratives reflecting on distance learning during the abrupt shift to online education midway through the Spring 2020 semester. * Documentation of online learning experiences (photos, narratives, screenshots). – #archivecuny #CUNY #cityuniversityofnewyork #graduatecenter #distancelearning #instructionalpause #onlineteaching #onlineeducation #teachingresources #edtech #digitalarchive #edtech #preservation #teachersofinstagram #professorsofinstagram #COVID19 #coronavirus

See you in August, Hostos! Just kidding. Kind of? Governor Cuomo closed the CUNY and SUNY systems yesterday by tweet. My boss found out on Twitter what her boss didn’t even know. Nobody knows anything. How will a class with an extremely structured course curriculum that’s reliant on a very dynamic questioning and interactive instruction methodology work remotely? No one knows! How long have I been talking to my (former) boss, her boss, my supervisor from Central, anyone that would listen about getting more of it online? Since February 2018. My first Blackboard training was March 19, 2018 (I know because it’s in my Google calendar) and March 19, 2020 we will be resuming classes online. Ha! So, am I a little excited about this brute force entry into the 21st century? Yes. Am I freaking out about teaching the rest of my course online? Nope. I could have done without the accompanying risk of infectious disease, of course. You know what I will end up going back to the college for before August? My paystub. Because somehow working for a university system of 45,000+ employees, we don’t have access to that information online. In the year 2020. Ridiculous. . . . #CUNY #Hostos #thebridge #grandconcourse #corona #univercity #shutdown #bronx #nyc #nyclife
