Episode 7: Switching to Teaching Online: A Conversation with Shively Smith and Kimberleigh Jordan
Dialogue on Teaching, Wabash Center’s podcast series, is hosted by Nancy Lynne Westfield, Ph.D., Director of the Wabash Center. Amplifying the Wabash Center’s mission, the podcasts focus upon issues of teaching and learning in theology and religion within colleges, university, seminaries, as well as the publics impacted by these schools. Dialogues with faculty and administrators working in the wide range of institutional contexts illumine the complexity of teaching and the teaching life.
The pandemic of 2020 is changing teaching. With little to no notice, faculties have been asked to switch from face-to-face formats to teaching online. This conversation with Dr. Kimberleigh Jordan (Drew University) and Dr. Shively Smith (Boston University School of Theology) provides advice, perspective, and insights for this moment of immediate adaptation. We are glad these colleagues joined us by phone.
