What does it mean for us? amandamuscat1212 https://padlet.com/amandamuscat1212/ie3dphs3vvt5/wish/465772983 I'm wondering what social distancing means in regards to teaching f2f classes and facilitating group brainstorms and discussions?

You have provided us a post regarding altered assessment dates on Collaborate. When I access my collab account, the dropbox only has access to AT1 & AT2 for submissions.

A couple of silly questions - will we be assessed on AT2b & AT3, and will that require a submission? As well, is there a rubric for AT2b?
