Seth Offenbach shares about his article, Kindness and Community in an Online Asynchronous Classroom, on episode 586 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I had to recognize the reality that my classroom was never going to be the number one priority for people during the pandemic.

When we teach, why not be kind?
-Seth Offenbach

My goal is to challenge my students intellectually. My goal is not to stress them out.
-Seth Offenbach

We all miss deadlines.
-Seth Offenbach

In order to truly be kind, you have to create a safe space for the students where they feel that they can come to you, talk to you and learn with you.
