While the COVID-19 crisis imposed a quick reactive transfer of our well-trodden face-to-face modes of learning and teaching (L&T) into the digital environment, educators’ reflective insight across the world has tended, understandably, to examine these changes primarily from a deficit perspective (i.e. to focus on what ‘we used to do that we can’t do anymore’).
Yet, we all know that ‘face-to-face’ is not totally perfect! Indeed, many will suggest that the move to digital is promoting healthy questioning of all aspects and modes of our learning and teaching practice, off and online.
In this context, and as we have now experienced some of the challenges and opportunities of going digital, the most productive debate that we can have at this transitional point in time is to ask ourselves these questions:
- What do we think are the opportunities afforded by going digital?
- What do we think that we can achieve better in a digital environment that we didn’t think about when teaching face-to-face?
- Is there a useful mix of pedagogies here that is of benefit to learning and teaching communities?
- What are the challenges and the main issues at stake in the transition to digital?
- How must we adapt our teaching expectations and learning outcomes for the potential impact on the broader cultural arts landscape?
The ENCATC/AAAE Global Conversations session will seek to examine these issues via moderated Town Hall discussion. All are welcome to attend.
