TOPIC
Virtual (Remote) Instruction
Online learning has been growing for years now, which as it turns out has come in handy this year given the way things have gone because it means a lot of the infrastructure needed for remote virtual teaching is already in place. Online learning and remote instruction are two very different beasts though. They require very different things, both are happening simultaneously right now though thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, so let's talk about them!
Here are some pieces about the differences:
Remote versus Online Instruction from Memorial University
The Difference Between Emergency Remote Teaching and Online Learning from Educase Review
Emergency Remote Teaching Vs. Online Learning: A Comparison from University of the People
And here is a selection on remote teaching and online learning directly related to libraries:
