Pandemic Teaching: A Survival Guide for College Faculty
by Kevin Patton
The world has changed, and so have the ways we teach and learn. It’s time to change with it. Pandemic Teaching is here to help you do just that. We know how hard it can be to move from a life of on-campus teaching to the new world of online teaching, but we also know how rewarding it can be when done right. That’s why we created this guidebook—to make sure you don’t get lost in the pandemic of remote teaching!
You won’t have any trouble finding what’s important or not in this era of pandemic teaching because our book will give you all the information you need. Written in an informal, conversational style, this book gives useful advice and empathetic support as you survive your own challenges.
The first section of the book provides a list of quick tips, strategies, and helpful mindsets—all based on Patton’s real-life practical experience. The second part of the book expands on some of those quick tips to give further advice for implementing them.

Simple Ideas for Moving to Remote Learning
Moving from on-campus teaching to remote teaching? Not sure where to start or how it can be done effectively in a short time frame? Not too sure about the technology? Here’s the simplified, essential message of the book Pandemic Teaching: A Survival Guide for College Faculty.
Long Term Learning | Five Strategies for Teaching A&P
This session explores five strategies that can work in any course to move student from short-term learning “for the next test” to the long-term learning they need to carry knowledge and application skills to the next course and beyond.
This session explores the use of narrated presentations that can be accessed by students in an online course platform or regular website. A brief walk-through of the process of producing such a presentation is included.
This session explores the use of Respondus and your LMS to produce randomized online tests that operate as self-contained learning activities. Data on student attitudes toward randomized testing as a learning method and data on effects on student performance also are explored.

Almost-Daily Updates
Curated selection of headlines, notices, & updates in science & education from The A&P Professor
The Science & Education Update newsletter from The A&P Professor (TAPP) is an almost-daily*, curated collection of headlines, updates, notices, images, videos, etc., from various media sources delivered directly to your inbox. Kevin Patton chooses the items everyday from his scan of what’s going on from trusted sources.
