In March 2020, interpreter educators all over the world faced the need to quickly adapt to remote or online delivery of their curricula in response to the spread of COVID-19. We may need to continue with remote or online delivery through the rest of 2020, and possibly beyond. Remote teaching and learning, whether delivered synchronously or asynchronously, is qualitatively distinct from face-to-face teaching and learning. Many interpreter educators have had to race against the clock in their effort to design and adapt face-to-face materials and activities to continue delivering courses in remote or online mode. The NCIHC Home for Trainers webinar team wants to explore the lessons that interpreter educators have learned during this transition. To that end, we have convened a group of interpreter educators for a roundtable-type discussion titled “Adapt, Amend, Adjust: A Panel Discussion on How Interpreter Trainers Adapted their Programs in Response to COVID-19 Restrictions” Panelists will reflect on their experiences adapting curricula, lesson plans, and learning activities, and will share their recommendations for trainers, relevant resources, and plans for the future.
