When teaching remotely, engaging students in assessments—whether in a live or self-paced environment—can be challenging. This week's podcast shares digital strategies and tech tips for giving students voice and choice from the first days in their virtual classroom so that their creativity can bring learning assessments to life.

Our Digital Learning Specialists share tips for how to think about the first day, first week, and first month of your virtual classroom, where you go slow to go fast. Take the time to work with your students to establish norms, practice using the technology, and build routines together so that when it is time to pivot to a new teaching model, everyone feels prepared.
