While teaching remotely is more common in other parts of the world, at Dartmouth College and its Thayer School of Engineering all classes used to be taught in person. Until March of 2020 that is when COVID-19 gave us 2 weeks’ notice to switch to 100% remote instruction.
In this talk I will describe some of the lessons I learned in trying to engage students in this novel setting as well as some of the techniques I used to attempt to build a social network for them. I will draw from a scientific computing class, a hands-on summer bridge program as well as my MOOCs to illustrate my endeavors.
