Kent Peterson notes that many faculty were seeking help to get better at online instruction.

"I would love to see a much more robust and broad dialogue—between all of the stakeholders that are involved in online learning—around capabilities...to make sure everybody understands what the capabilities are here. Because I think all the pieces are there to create a very robust learning experience online, but I think so many people have had to transition so quickly, they're not really sure what the capabilities are."
