Pandemic Teaching: A Survival Guide for College Faculty
by Kevin Patton

The world has changed, and so have the ways we teach and learn. It’s time to change with it. Pandemic Teaching is here to help you do just that. We know how hard it can be to move from a life of on-campus teaching to the new world of online teaching, but we also know how rewarding it can be when done right. That’s why we created this guidebook—to make sure you don’t get lost in the pandemic of remote teaching!

You won’t have any trouble finding what’s important or not in this era of pandemic teaching because our book will give you all the information you need. Written in an informal, conversational style, this book gives useful advice and empathetic support as you survive your own challenges.

The first section of the book provides a list of quick tips, strategies, and helpful mindsets—all based on Patton’s real-life practical experience. The second part of the book expands on some of those quick tips to give further advice for implementing them.

Almost-Daily Updates

Curated selection of headlines, notices, & updates in science & education from The A&P Professor

Sample of TAPP Science & Education newsletter in Revue by Twitter

The Science & Education Update newsletter from The A&P Professor (TAPP) is an almost-daily*, curated collection of headlines, updates, notices, images, videos, etc., from various media sources delivered directly to your inbox. Kevin Patton chooses the items everyday from his scan of what’s going on from trusted sources.

Usually, the TAPP Science & Education Update has a mix of items relevant to both the content of anatomy and physiology and the art and science of teaching. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, news items are skewed toward aspects of the pandemic of interest to A&P teachers—or anyone, really.
