This panel of iSchools educators will share their experiences and stimulate discussion with attendees on the successes and challenges in altering cohort curricular experiences, and reflect on the takeaways that allow all to strengthen our pedagogical approaches. The systematic inclusivity and other lessons learned in moving planned in-person cohort education to virtual settings at several iSchools will lead to new teaching and research considerations for an improved normalcy designed with inclusion in-mind as well as the best ways to parlay virtual and physical spaces as each have their own benefits and costs. Finally, breakout groups on any themes introduced or that may emerge will be conducted to allow for a more focused discussion on the use of virtual and physical spaces in teaching. An outcome of the panel will be a whitepaper on the various perspectives authored by all willing attendees.
