Advances in Educational Technologies and Instructional Design Navigating Teaching an Era of Social Distancing Global Conflict

Teaching and learning are core endeavors in human society, to advance industries, disciplines, technologies, arts, and so much more. Learning is a lifelong practice for many that not only advances the learner, but whole sub-populations and populations. In a fast-moving and highly dynamic world, uninterrupted learning is essential for both recovery and progress. In the aftermath of the rolling global disaster of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world saw massive slides in human learning progress among school-aged and college-level youth which must be avoided going forward. Navigating Teaching in an Era of Social Distancing and Global Conflict focuses on the state of teaching and learning in this current moment. The following chapters evaluate the responses and data from the previous pandemic, as well as other crisis situations. In addition to these insights, the varied professionals on this project explore preemptive preparedness and improved responses at both a local and a global level. Covering topics such as barriers to access, holistic development, and emergency remote teaching, this book is an excellent resource for administrators, educators, policymakers, pre-service teachers, researchers, academicians, and more.
