Pivoting to Online Learning during a Pandemic: Techniques and Tools for Active Learning

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic requires institutes of higher education (IHE) world-wide to shift their course delivery to online learning to mitigate the spread of the virus between students and instructors. While the shift to online learning alleviated the spread of the virus, it did present a challenge to professors to deliver high quality instruction that allowed students to continue learning subject courses in an engaging online format. Three professors from a private university in the United States discuss how they quickly pivoted their research-based practices in planning, implementation, and assessment to online learning. The discussion includes active online learning techniques and tools that engage students in their learning.
