Project PI's: Drs. Grace Panther & Heidi Diefes-Dux
Amount and Years: $224,572, 2020 - 2022
Funding: National Science Foundation Award #2027471
Abstract: The alarming spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a national emergency. Many universities announced in mid-March 2020 that all courses taught in classrooms will be delivered online for the remainder of the semester. RAPID response funding enables real-time documentation of the faculty experience during this crisis and helps explain the results of studies of teacher-design instruction generated during the COVID-19 event. The results of this study will help future efforts to build supports of individual faculty development with teaching.
