The Single Most Essential Requirement in Designing a Fall Online Course

Exerpt: "We need to build our courses thinking about empowerment and agency, desinging ways for students to interact with one another and with us. We need to think about meaningful activities beyond the screen that extend the lessons of the course, building in ways students can be co-teachers as well as co-learners, actively contributing to the course. We need to think about what we all can offer one another--curiosity, imagination, knowledge, power--as antidotes to the present disruption and trauma, as tools towards building a future."
