Provost Communication to Spelman College Faculty
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, Spelman College is taking proactive steps, including suspending face-to-face classes and conducting classes remotely, for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester. To assist faculty, and to meet our academic responsibilities to our students, STS has created this Instructional Online Learning Training website, with strategies and tools that faculty can use to prepare for remote modes of delivery of their courses.
