Reflections on Emergency eLearning and Pandemic Pedagogy

Session Submission Type: In-Person Roundtable

Session Description

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has led to a profound transformation in the practices and policies of higher education, through the mass adoption of online teaching and remote learning protocols around the world (Crawford et al 2020). These “Emergency eLearning” (Murphy 2020) programs are designed to limit the possibility of community transmission on university campuses by eliminating face-to-face courses. Because of the density of networks on campus, students are often connected at short intervals through multiple paths, meaning that half measures can only reduce community transmission (Weeden & Cornwell 2020).
This roundtable features contributors from a recent PS: Political Science & Politics spotlight, reflecting on the continued impacts of Emergency eLearning and pandemic pedagogy in political science education.
