TiPS for Surviving Pandemic Teaching: A Learner-Centered Framework
Popovich, Karen; Pangborn, Greta
Information Systems Education Journal, v20 n5 p4-16 Dec 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2020 necessitated a sudden shift to online learning. Faculty at Saint Michael's College, in Colchester, Vermont (USA), had ten days to re-plan their courses as well as potentially learn new pedagogies, adapt to technology for instruction, and help students adjust to the changes. In addition, faculty needed to prepare for the likelihood of at least some online teaching in Fall 2020. Applying a structured approach to course design for online and hybrid instruction was accomplished for the authors' courses in business administration, computer science, and information systems by reworking a framework derived from the first author's previous research. This paper explains the framework and offers examples of class projects and assignments that were effective in achieving learning outcomes for both the remainder of the online Spring 2020 and the online and hybrid Fall 2020 semester. Successes and challenges from this application and ideas for future research are discussed.
