Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook develops and presents a new hybrid pedagogy that integrates the best practices of both face-to-face and online teaching within community colleges and other access-oriented institutions. Focusing specifically on historically underserved students, this text demonstrates how online pedagogy offers new and different approaches to learning, engaging, collaborating, and communicating which can also be adapted for face-to-face classrooms, creating an innovative blended pedagogy that builds upon both course experiences. Recognizing that higher education is at a unique turning point as the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects become endemic, this volume offers educators ways to forge new paths forward and prepare for future crises by learning how to maximize the possibilities of both face-to-face and online learning tools and approaches.
