Description
Summary:COVID-19 has turned the world upside down in many ways; its impact on education has been significant across the globe. Particularly disruptive has been the shift from in-person to virtual teaching and learning. Instead of co-creating and maintaining learning spaces that foster in-person dialogue, educators and students have had to quickly master the art of teaching and learning in a very different format. An added complexity was the perceived expectation that virtual classes would, for the most part, continue synchronously rather than transitioning to the typical asynchronous format of pre-COVID-19 online learning. This context emphasized the importance of designing and enacting teaching and learning experiences that fostered students' engagement through active learning. Here, O'Flynn-Magee et al share how they created a teaching and learning experience that was as close as possible to the already designed in-person course in terms of creative teaching and learning strategies, student engagement, and active learning.
