Hodges quoted by Inside Higher Ed

However, that might not be the best choice during this pandemic.
Maybe synchronous delivery is the “best option for your particular circumstance, but it should be a thoughtful decision considering several factors — not simply that you think your students need to see your talking head,” Hodges said.
