Flipped, Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning: The Ideal Foundation for the Rapid Transition to Online Learning
Date Tuesday, Dec 1 Time – Room
Due to COVID-19, many universities have found themselves rapidly transitioning their teaching and learning to a fully online environment. However, this comes with many new challenges, technologically and pedagogically, for institutions, instructors, and students alike. This presentation outlines how MEF University's Flipped, Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning approach (FADAL), implemented across all courses at MEF, placed it in the ideal position to rapidly transition to fully online learning in March 2020 when the campus was forced to close.
