You Don't Know What You've Got till It's Gone: Using a Sense of Humor to Rebuild Community in the Classroom
Woodall, S. Joseph
Liberal Education, v107 n3 Sum 2021
In this article, the author shares his fear that students will become accustomed to an educational experience that lacks joy and fun as a result of the changes made to education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He and his teaching colleagues have noticed that when students are learning virtually, they act much more as receivers of knowledge than active participants in the learning process. Although grades and evaluations during all-virtual learning indicated that their students grasped the material and could work independently, the experience was not the same. None of the intangibles of the college experience--such as having informal discussions after class--were taking place.
