Hoboken, NJ - July 8, 2020 - Wiley, a global leader in research and education, will host the company's second annual 'Wicked Summer Camp' virtual conference on July 13-14 to help higher education instructors prepare for the return to in-person learning after a year of both profound disruption and innovation. Topping the agenda is mental health and how best to support students and instructors as many return to campus for the first time in over a year. Additional sessions will address academic integrity and post-pandemic course design.
'At Wiley, we're committed to powering education by fostering community, and creating space for faculty to connect, discuss nuanced issues, and share best practices has never been more important,' said Renee Altier, Senior Vice President of Business Education and Careers at Wiley. 'This conference was born out of the need to support instructors during the unprecedented shift to online and hybrid learning amid COVID-19, and it continues to offer the opportunity for educators as they get ready to welcome students back to campus after a disruptive year.'
Highlights of the agenda include:
Inspired by Dr. Paul Hanstedt's book, Creating Wicked Students, and launched during the early months of COVID-19, this bi-annual event series -Wiley Wicked Summer Camp and Wiley Wicked Spring Break - is designed to help instructors overcome 'wicked problems,' those that are complex and difficult to solve.
