Starting in fall 2020, Rutgers–Camden will be offering some large lecture courses in an online, asynchronous model, with student support in the form of smaller sections led by TAs or course assistants (CAs). This page is designed to aggregate information for course designers, instructors, TAs, and CAs.
Overview
A recording of our August 2020 “Teaching large online classes” webinar is below.
