IT Training was instrumental in the switch to remote teaching and learning in March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and trained more than 2,500 faculty and instructors to quickly transition their courses online.
IT Training was able to adapt rapidly because their staff was prepared. They created the Keep Teaching website in 2009 following the H1N1 pandemic, and maintained it during the 11 intervening years, which ensured that IU was ready to move courses online quickly.
