Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the funding period in 2020 was dedicated to support the important and timely effort of course redesign and development. Specifically, the Hahn Fund provided stipends to faculty to engage in summer workshops focused on the pedagogical strategies of moving a course, or parts of a course, online, and the tools and techniques which support those strategies.
The summer course development opportunities included:
- Course development workshops focused on revising face-to-face courses for online or partially online teaching and learning. These workshops were offered in two formats–a self-paced model or a cohort model featuring synchronous sessions with peers.
- Technology sessions which provided training and support in the tools selected for course implementation.
- Consultations for course design help, either one-on-one or small group.
