March 16, 2021 Online learning is still new to most instructors and students. Despite the fact that classes across Cornell and the globe have been taught online for years, only a small minority were accustomed to this learning format prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cameron Clark/Provided Flower Darby As instructors and students are still adjusting to the online format imposed on them at the outbreak of the pandemic a year ago, the Cornell Online Learning Community (COLC) asked speakers and participants at its 7th annual event, “What Works and What’s Next in online teaching and learning?” Over 100 participants gathered virtually on March 9, 2021, sponsored by the Center for Teaching Innovation (CTI), to look back on a year of online teaching to understand successful strategies to adapt as they continue developing this relatively new learning space.
