Interview with Victoria Feth.
An educational developer’s perspective on how instructors have weathered the Great Pivot of 2020.
Instructors are people, too, and like people everyhwere, they’ve been through a lot in 2020. In this feature interview with Victoria Feth, Centre for Teaching Excellence Liaison to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo, we discuss what her job entails and how it has changed during the pandemic. We look at the impact of the Great Pivot on instructors and their teaching practice, and think about the longer-term impact this might have.
(Please note: at one point I refer to a University of Ottawa study, but I mixed that up with a study by the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association. Sorry about that. This blogpost tells you more about both very useful studies of instructor responses to the Great Pivot.)
For Fall Term 2020 this blog will be exploring issues informing education during a pandemic. It is appearing as part of a graduate seminar on online teaching and learning. You can read more about the seminar or see the other posts.
