Abstract

Track: Open Educational Resources, Open Pedagogy & Open Access Scholarship

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic required immediate shifts in higher education, compelling faculty and instructional support teams to adapt rapidly to remote and hybrid teaching models. This poster shares lessons learned in the development of NC State University's Keep Teaching website, a resource launched at the beginning of the pandemic to support faculty in navigating new instructional challenges. By examining the iterative design process, technology choices, and user feedback, this poster highlights effective strategies and unexpected challenges in creating and maintaining an adaptable online resource. Key insights include the importance of timely content updates, strategies for fostering user engagement, and methods for integrating diverse multimedia tools to enhance teaching efficacy. These findings are invaluable for educational technology teams and administrators seeking to build resilient teaching resources in response to evolving instructional needs.
