When we go back to in-person classes in Winter 2022, we know things won't go back exactly to the way they were before. Nor should they! We have learned a lot about alternative ways of assessing students, delivering content, and designing courses during the 6 terms we've had to do some remote teaching. Here are some of the things I'm hoping to keep when we move back into the classroom:

• Online office hours as well as in person - convenient and practical
• Use a variety of authentic assessment techniques - not just closed-book time-limited tests, although there will be some of those
• Flexibility and compassion in course policies - empathy never goes out of style
• Using video content and flipping the classroom - use the in-person time for students to actively engage with the material
• Universal Design for Learning principles - not all of them are relevant for my courses, but try to lower barriers to learning so accommodations are not necessary

What are you planning to keep doing from your pandemic teaching?
