First, let's commend ourselves: how in the midst of a pandemic we
faculty stepped up at record speed to teach in such a foreign
learning environment. Try we did, adapt we did, and learn we did.
But to be clear, and we already recognize this, this past spring
was less about distance learning and more about crisis teaching.
This time around we have the opportunity to be much more purposeful
and intentional, and that's where The Distance Learning Playbook
for College and University Instruction will prove absolutely
indispensable. Much more than a collection of cool tools and apps,
The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University
Instruction mobilizes decades of Visible Learning (R) research to
reveal those evidence-based strategies that work best in an online
environment. Supplemented by video footage and opportunities to
self-assess and reflect, the book addresses every dynamic that must
be in place for students to learn, even at a distance:
Faculty-student relationships from a distance Teacher credibility
from a distance Teacher clarity from a distance Engaging tasks from
a distance Planning learning experiences from a distance Feedback,
assessment, and grading from a distance Keeping the focus on
learning, from a distance or otherwise What does our post-COVID
future hold? "We suspect," Fisher, Frey, Almarode, and Hattie
write, "it will include increased amounts of distance learning. In
the meantime, let's seize on what we have learned to improve
post-secondary education in any format, whether face-to-face or
from a distance." "We are all still active faculty members,
committed to teaching, scholarship, and service. The unexpected
transition to remote learning doesn't mean we no longer know how to
teach. We can still impact the lives of our students and know that
we made a difference. The Distance Learning Playbook for College
and University Instruction will show you how." ~Douglas Fisher,
Nancy Frey, John Almarode, and John Hattie
