Professor Sean Fitzpatrick of the University of Lethbridge shares how he has adapted flexible online instruction to ensure the wellbeing of his students.

Developing a culture of using a discussion forum

What’s really saved me was a culture of using discussion boards in class. The students are used to posting their homework questions and asking for help there.

Recording lectures with Youtube Live

I’ve been giving lectures through Youtube Live during the original class time. Youtube saves everything automatically so the students that weren’t able to tune in to the live session can watch the lecture whenever they want.
