Member QuickTalk | Active Learning in the Time of COVID-19
In this EDUCAUSE member event – focused on conversation rather than presentation and in partnership with FLEXspace.org, we’ll discuss how the COVID-19 global health pandemic is bringing about short and long-term challenges related to the future of active, collaborative, and hands-on learning.
The Covid-19 global health pandemic is bringing about changes in teaching and learning, and the definition of “learning spaces.” What does this mean for active, collaborative, and hands-on learning, and how are IT units, faculty developers, and instructors preparing for these changes?
What are the challenges, and what could be some solutions/approaches to the following in this “new world”?
- Group work, collaborative spaces, and hands-on learning
- Attendance vs. engagement
- How Faculty/Students moderate effectively
- How these challenges differ between:
- F2F
- Online
- HyFlex
