Several Arts and Sciences faculty have started and furthered projects during the transition to remote learning. Here are just a few.
Ari Kohen is the Schlesinger Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science. He started an online course about heroism in the recent Marvel films.
Just for kicks, I decided to create a 1 hour course on heroism in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offer it to students who are out of school. It filled up completely with high schoolers...so I'm doing another section of it on Monday. Tell your friends.https://t.co/hVPKnj2TQE

Ingrid Haas, an associate professor in the same department, seeks survey participants for an undergraduate course.
Quarantined with nothing to do? Help my @unlincoln POLS 450 (Conducting Research in Political Psychology) students collect data for their research projects!

Eileen Hebets, an American Association for the Advancement of Science fellow and professor in the School of Biological Sciences, has started a peer-assisted learning program for K-12 students.
OK Friends - I have a crazy idea and it involves helping our kids learn from each other. I have set up a grid on @Flipgrid that has 4 separate topics - (i) science and nature, (ii) books and literature, (iii) history and geography, and (iv) languages. (1/4)

My idea involves YOU and YOUR KIDS. Here goes:

1) Older kids (6-12 grade) create under 3 minute "educational" videos for younger kids (1-5th) to watch and ask questions about.
2) Younger kids (1-5th grad) "reply" to videos with questions, comments, etc....(2/4)
..and the dialogue continues back and forth.

We can create our own peer-assisted learning program where our kids learn from each other. Older kids can do research on their topics or simply share what they've already learned in school. (3/4)
Here is the link and should get you to each of the topic grids https://t.co/1NEwKfI4GV

You will need a password so message me for it. (4/4)
We're up to three videos on a range of topics. Now let's start the dialogue by having your kids use the "reply" function and leave messages for the video creators. @RealKateLyons

It's great to see work being done that continues to advance our education and research missions during this complicated time. We're all in this together!
