Webinar with Dr. Richard Marklin, Jr.
June 17 at 8 AM EDT
I am an “old” professor and have taught engineering for 29 years at Marquette University. Before COVID-19, my pedagogue consisted of traditional chalk or white-board lectures (no PPTs) and laboratories with a little bit of on-line content (only syllabus and some notes on D2L). But that all changed on March 12, when I was told that all content and interactions had to be on-line for the remainder of the semester. I adapted by making an in-home computer and video station and then made 17 asynchronous lecture videos for my statistics class. I made all quizzes and exams remote via D2L. This presentation will show the quick timeline and my conversion to remote teaching, which may help other professors who are in similar situations. The conversion was difficult for me, but an old professor can learn new tricks!

Richard W. Marklin, Jr., Ph.D., CPE, is Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI. His research and teaching specialties are physical ergonomics (particularly upper extremity disorders), product design, and teaching STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to under-represented K-12 students in the STEM fields. He has conducted research for the electric utility sector for 25 years, with most of the work sponsored by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute). He also created a YouTube channel (Marklin Freehand Sketcher) that teaches people how to freehand sketch.
