I agree, based on this:
My high-school aged son was taking two in-person community college classes this last semester.
When the SIP hit, his Spanish class just "ended". Nothing online, nothing from his teacher, it was just over. His math teacher worked diligently to keep things going, and I could see the adaptations the math teacher attempted to evolve his efforts with the unexpected conditions.
If the CC is only online in the fall, we'll find something else for him. I don't think v1.0 of online CC is worth spending my money on, based on the v0.9 beta.
- oarsinsync 6y agoI’m not sure it’s fair to characterise a change in circumstances as severe as what we’ve just been through, and the results of remote work, as a v0.9 beta. MVP feels fairer, and even that feels like a stretch for a lot of places.
- jasonv 6y agoPossibly -- but where a CC has a lot of adjunct profs, not staff, I'm not sure they're going to solve a lot of their issues over the summer. Perhaps at a University, where tenured staff.. and those in the tenure-track, are likely to take the changed circumstances as a mandate to adjust and adapt. One consideration we've had is signing him up for classes, and making a determination pretty quickly about how online-instruction ready the instructors he ends up with are. If we can drop enrollment for no, or little, $ outlay, we may give it a shot. But our alternative -- returning to a tutor we used some time ago -- could be a more secure option, unless he's booked full. Which could be the case.
