NEWS RELEASE
Remote teaching makes us more human, Rice U. expert says
At Rice, only three undergraduate classes were scheduled to be conducted completely online from the beginning of the semester. Now more than 1,900 have gone remote. The biggest revelations have been about the human — rather than the technical — dimension of teaching, said Caroline Levander, vice president for digital and global strategy at Rice and a leading humanities scholar.
