Diving in, flipping a Workshop from In-person to Virtual, fast!

Abstract

Before COVID-19 came to the United States, the Texas A&M International University’s (TAMIU) Sue & Radcliffe Killam Library had planned on having an in-person RefWorks Workshop for the TAMIU community. The workshop was designed in collaboration between the Killam Library and the TAMIU Advancing Research and Curriculum (ARC) Initiative. Then COVID-19 came requiring many, like us, to switch all teaching and learning to the virtual environment. In under a month we turned plans for an in-person workshop into a two-session virtual webinar. Without teamwork, collaboration, and many virtual meetings this initiative would have been a failure. Dive in with us to hear our tips and see how we pulled off flipping our in-person workshop to a virtual webinar success.
