Research comparing LLCsacross programs have shown that they can have a positive impact on first-generation participants'transitions to college [2]; increased sense of belonging in their college [3]; and increasedopenness to

A recent survey [2] of about 2000 faculty indicated that although therewas steady increase in faculty experienced in online teaching, less than 50% faculty had taught atleast one course online. In this backdrop, the challenges faced by faculty not experienced orhaving limited experience in online teaching while moving to a remote learning cannot beoverstated.

We should have asked questions, played with the materials, drawn out a simple base design, divided the tasks, then began building.
