During the rapid shift away from face-to-face course delivery in March, Janni Aragon knew she wanted to get a jump on circumstance. So she took immediate steps to ensure her students would have the same kind of dynamic, community-oriented learning experience they have come to expect from UVic, using a mesh of technologies she also studies. That effort put Aragon, and students in her course in young adult literature, politics and culture, more than a small step ahead. Her course doesn’t begin until July.
