Can it be done? I think it can, and here's a suggestion for how to do it: Schools could embrace an older style of teaching used by British universities — the tutorial system — and adapt it for the online world. In the classic tutorial system, students do most of their learning in small sessions that include the professor (or an assistant) and just a few other students. The students are expected to work actively with the material as they engage critically with the instructor and one another. Discussions and additional reading are tailored to students' abilities and interests. Courses may also include larger lectures and traditional exams, but the tutorials are where the main action happens. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in England employ the classic tutorial system, and some aspects are practiced by small colleges in the United States such as Williams and Sarah Lawrence. A modified tutorial system could foster a more rewarding learning experience online. Professors could record lectures on video for later viewing, annotate them with required and supplemental readings, and then schedule live video tutorials with, say, four or five students each.
It's worth mentioning that this swift action would not have occurred without the involvement of student journalists demanding to know what was really going on as the University of North Carolina reopened. Source: NBC News The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced Monday it was converting to virtual classes after reporting 135 new COVID-19 cases and four clusters within a week of starting classes for the fall semester — an outcome many critics feared as the university decided to reopen its campus. "After consultation with state and local health officials, #UNC's infectious disease experts and the UNC system, Carolina is making two changes to de-densify campus, " the school announced on Twitter Monday afternoon. "On Wednesday, Aug. 19, all undergraduate instruction will shift to remote learning. " The shift was announced within an hour of the updated case counts being added on the school's CV-19 dashboard, which tracks metrics like tests conducted, positive cases, and isolation and quarantine capacity.
