When: March 23, 2021, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Presenter(s): Jeff Allred (English)--moderator; Presenters: Chris Wells (Environmental Studies/History, Macalester College), Allen Strouse (English), Andie Silva (English, York College + Digital Humanities, GC)

Topic: The appeal of Zoom is obvious: it’s easy to learn, allows for extras like chat and small group work, and, if you squint, it sometimes feels almost like real school. But there are problems as well: it’s not that flexible, it’s a bandwidth hog and therefore isn’t fully accessible to all students, and, like anything, it becomes a rut we get stuck in. Three panelists will describe their alternative approaches/platforms, including Slack, Google Docs, and Discord.
