Knowledge, Learning, Community

The survey of university professors preparing to teach in the fall looks at preparations for online learning and their confidence about their institutions' plans. They've been taking training in how to teach online, though prioritizing how how to do it rather than equity issues (which actually makes sense to me). It's not clear how the respondents were chosen but it's doubtful the survey captured sessional, adjunct and other contingent faculty (now holding 70% of the positions) which probably explains why "those with the most higher ed teaching experience are over-represented." Actual training and levels of confidence are probably much lower than reported here, were we to include a fully representative sample.
