“In 2020, inside literature held over 8 traditional synchronous classes between january 1 and march 13 when the jail where we offer our programs was closed to all non-essential personnel due to the covid-19 pandemic. We immediately began working on and launched our distance learning initiative, which has four unique programs: synchronous online courses using microsoft teams, asynchronous videos about a singular topic (akin to ted talks), structured workbooks to guide students through various texts and writing prompts, and a community learning program. We adapted our traditional english and spanish literature courses online using microsoft teams, recorded and showed our "talk with an expert" video series with over 10 videos at the jail, and provided structured workbooks for guided reading and writing. We were able to begin online courses in a limited capacity in september 2020 and were able to teach 6 courses before the end of december 2020. We also delivered copies of the workbooks and texts to the tccc in april 2020 for self-guided courses on over 10 texts, with workbooks and texts available to any interested inmate at the tccc.”
