Yesterday, the University announced 
that all undergraduate in-person instruction will shift to remote learning starting tomorrow, August 19.
We understand this may present some challenges for instructors who planned to teach in-person this semester. Know that support is available for you.
We highly recommend continuing to check the Keep Teaching website , a resource for all UNC Faculty and Teaching Assistants on using remote instructional tools and methods. You can also request a 30-minute confidential consultation to discuss any challenges, plans, strategies, tools, or concerns you may have.
The website is updated frequently, and there is a new Remote Teaching page to help you quickly transition to remote instruction. Here is a gist of what you will find on this resource page.
Teaching Strategies for Remote Instruction
See Remote Teaching for details on each of these teaching strategies, with examples of synchronous and asynchronous activities:
