Paper Abstract:
|
The forced transition caused by the safety lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic imposed "emergency
eLearning" on many university faculty members. This transition had many facets including moving away from
face-to-face instruction to fully online and hybrid or blended forms of eLearning. For programs that were already
leveraging blended teaching, using simultaneous synchronous and asynchronous teaching in the same classroom, the
major change was the loss of an educational technician to operate and monitor the technology used for these hybrid
teaching models. This paper outlines some of the changes required to navigate this transition and the positive and
negative consequences associated with this forced move to eLearning. |
