Summary:

“This volume tracks the experiences of 17 educators blending creativity, pedagogical know-how, and tolerance for the unknown to foster college students’ learning and growth. Read with joy and hope, drawing out what these authors learned for our post-pandemic classrooms.” —Anna Neumann, Edward S. Evenden Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA “Forged from pandemic-era conditions and challenges and responsive to vital opportunities to empower through education, this excellent and valuable collection describes how pedagogies and best practices keenly relevant during the pandemic crisis have evolved to inform current teaching and learning in both physical and virtual modalities.” —Jeanie Tietjen, Professor of English, Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education, Massachusetts Bay Community College, USA This textbook develops and presents a new hybrid pedagogy that integrates the best practices of both face-to-face and online teaching within community colleges and other access-oriented institutions. Focusing specifically on historically underserved students, this text demonstrates how online pedagogy offers new and different approaches to learning, engaging, collaborating, and communicating which can also be adapted for face-to-face classrooms, creating an innovative blended pedagogy that builds upon both course experiences. Recognizing that higher education is at a unique turning point as the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects become endemic, this volume offers educators ways to forge new paths forward and prepare for future crises by learning how to maximize the possibilities of both face-to-face and online learning tools and approaches.
