During this difficult time, higher education institutions are facing many obstacles with little to no resources, and time is a coveted commodity. As an expert team of long-time higher education supporters, BCI has curated a number of pertinent resources and articles that can help shepherd you through some of your immediate and future challenges.
We recognize that many of your faculty have vast experience teaching face-to-face, but not much with delivering their programs in an online modality. As such, we’ve assimilated best practices from our industry experts and combined them in a practical resource guide that includes:
