Recommendation

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the classroom experience changed dramatically. Georgia Tech’s David Joyner and Charles Isbell see crisis-driven developments in education as harbingers, signals of a vast potential to create new educational possibilities for broader communities of global students without sacrificing quality of education. Here, Joyner and Isbell discuss how technology and student-centric teaching could transform the future of education into one of lifelong learning. Their book will help educators, instructional designers and administrators understand new educational paradigms – and avoid the dystopian pitfalls of moving education online.

Take-Aways

  • The distributed classroom model radically expands learning possibilities.
  • Institutions should build on recent developments in remote learning.
  • Distributed classrooms began as stopgap measures but could revolutionize education.
