Haha. Snowing here as well.

Should we set up a ZOOM for next week to brainstorm?

Debora and Anthony --

This is really useful information. In the time we have left with DSU, we would like to move
forward to help those faculty (individually and/or as departments) as we are able. I like
Anthony's plan to move forward with Nursing and Natural Sciences -- help them with the online
interactions they prefer or help prepare them for future online/remote/hyflex teaching.

Perhaps we might have a short conversation about what expectations you have for our work in
the next couple of months? We will continue with the schedule we have for workshops and
faculty check-ins. We will also be working to build a resources page and assessments.

Our plan is to have DSU faculty give short "lightning" presentations early in November -- on any
aspect of their teaching they choose. When we get that better organized, we'll let you know.

Debora -- heads up! It's snowing today in Wyoming..... might just be on its way to ND. ;-)

Hi Debora & Maggi,

I would concur with Debora’s evaluation below.

For Nursing, the faculty prefer the F2F method for the actual instruction, but they also really like the
online portion for review and to assist those students who have to miss class for any reason. I can see
where they would still have buy-in with the online content as supplementary to their classes.

I would like to start working with the other high-stakes courses, such as the Natural Sciences, in the
same manner. Still get them to build things in a hyflex manner, but that doesn’t mean they have to offer
it as such. But have the materials there for review.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Anthony

Nursing is Mary Anne Marsh. maryanne.marsh@dickinsonstate.edu

Nursing would like to be face-to-face. But, you can certainly visit with them about options.

HyFlex and distance for sure/moving ahead: School of Business and Entrepreneurship, School of
Education, Department of Arts and Letters.

Hyflex and distance hating: Social Science (they do some distance) and Natural Science (very, very little
distance).

The rest, I would place as neutral.

The “Hyflex haters.” The idea has been put forth that “we could simply hire adjuncts to teach
online. AAAAAnd, that’s not gunna fly!

Let me pull Anthony into the conversation and see what he thinks.

Hi, Debora --
Great weather here -- cooler, but clear. We've decided not to send any snow to ND today!

We have a couple of questions we hope you can answer. If possible, we would like to know
1. What DSU departments have agreed to move ahead with distance/hyflex delivery and
which ones have not agreed to do so? You mentioned these departmental decisions in
our telephone conversation last week.
2. How (if at all) would you like us to approach and support the departments that are not
"on board" with the DSU plan to continue and expand distance/hyflex delivery? We will
continue our work with the faculty with whom we have worked over the past two
months.
3. We want to check in and do some further focused work with Nursing. We're hoping
that they are a department that is on board with distance/hyflex delivery for DSU! But
we're wondering who would be the point person for us to contact in this department to
get this conversation started?
Thanks for any guidance you feel you can provide.

Have a great weekend!

Maggi
