The New Historical Divide of Online Education: Dialogues with Key Leaders during the Epidemic
Zhang, Xiaolei; Wang, Xiaoxiao; Li, Manli
ECNU Review of Education, v3 n4 p755-761 Dec 2020
During the outbreak of COVID-19, many universities and schools have responded as quickly as possible and shifted the courses from off-line to online. However, with the explosion of online teaching and learning, there came growing questions and challenges for educational leaders, scholars, and educators. The current crisis has stimulated discussions about online education before, during, and after the Coronavirus. One of these critical questions is "where online education shall move in the post-epidemic era." Recently, the Research Center for Online Education of China's Ministry of Education has launched an International Interview Project to invite scholars, educational leaders, and academic researchers to have dialogues concerning the significant issues about technology and education in this historically unparalleled divide. Furthermore, this dialogic space expects to include different voices about online education under this crisis, discuss the opportunities and challenges for technology and education, and prompt further collaborations for education innovation globally. Despite the busy schedules of scholars and educational leaders, at the end of many thorough, open, and substantive conversations, the organizers and participants agreed that the current crisis presents an opportunity that would add significant value to our understanding of online education in the post-epidemic era. Participants also raised a range of issues that confront educational leaders, administrators, researchers, faculty, instructors, and students across the globe during the discussions. This article highlights participants' predictions, participants' concerns, problems identified, rising issues identified, and the recurring issue of changing understanding of learning, teaching, and schooling in the digital world.
