Initial Survey for Students Switching to Distance Learning
The instructor in a seminar on the works of Audre Lorde distributed this copy of a survey from March 2020 during the instructional transition. Though simple in style (only seven questions/three pages in length), the form revealed what concerns motivated pedagogy during the transition. Rather than focusing primarily on technological needs and possibilities for instruction, the survey asked students about their personal experiences, dwelling on their emotional well-being and sense of satisfaction in the course. Such interactions highlight how some instructors focused distance learning around personal student outcomes.

Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
