Developing new curriculum during COVID-19

By Ruchi M. Watson

Summary
Over the summer, I took on a new role as Managing Director of the Goff Strategic Leadership Center. As a part of that role, I am involved in much more curriculum development, including the development of a new class that I started in Fall 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like many teachers and professors, there was much to learn in developing a new online course in the “IVC” or synchronous format. Here’s my story – hope it brings you a bit of humor and perhaps some tips as well. If not, it certainly comes with a generous amount of empathy.
