This is an introduction thread for faculty and administrators using MetaFans for Campus. If you haven’t done so already, I recommend filling out your profile so others can learn more about you and your school and see links to your institution’s website.
Please introduce yourself by replying to this post. Get to know the other higher ed faculty and administrators here in the community with you.
Here are some suggested topics to share in your introduction:
- Where your institution is located
- What you are responsible for at your university
- What is the biggest challenge you are facing as you take learning online?
- How your institution is adapting as you take learning online
- Courses you or your students are planning to take

Being a teacher in a theater arts program, it is important for me to know details about my students prior to a course. If a class I am teaching is one about theory or history, I need to know how much theory or history they have learned before.
If it is a practice-heavy class such as acting or directing, I also need to know a student’s basic psychological make-up — whether he or she is a quick learner or one that would need time before comprehending principles and processes. But with the current pandemic forcing us to shift to online learning systems, it has even become more important to understand pedagogies particularly those that pertain to multi-platform education.
