- The university has given every professor and student an account for the web-conferencing program Zoom, Doherty said. The biggest wrinkle: “This presumes that everyone has the internet where they are. And broadband.”
- Internet access may be a challenge, especially for students and faculty members in small cities and towns, where service can slow when everyone is trying to use videoconferencing at once, said Daniel Stanford, director of faculty development and technology innovation at the DePaul University Center for Teaching and Learning.
- Stanford also worries about how to replicate the learning formats, such as laboratory work, in which being physically present is central to the experience.
- Another question is institutional capacity. Are colleges generally prepared to support thousands of instructors’ moving quickly from in-person to online teaching?
- “In a word, no,” said Flower Darby, director of Teaching for Student Success at Northern Arizona University. “I don’t think most institutions are equipped to handle a situation such as this, in which more demands are made of the technological infrastructure and you need a lot of qualified people to help.”

She fears that, in an emergency, faculty members “will be thrown into the deep end of the pool.”
