6 . A PROFESSOR at Loyola University New Orleans taught his first online class from his courtyard, wearing a bathrobe (浴袍). The trouble caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn various responses at colleges struggling to continue teaching. This is widely being referred to as “online higher education.” There are even predictions that it will lead to a permanent departure from real campuses to virtual classrooms. However, all indications suggest that it probably won’t.
Real online education lets students move at their own pace. Additionally, developing a real online course can consume as much as a year. “That is not what is happening right now,” said Vijay Govindarajan, a professor at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. “What is happening now is we had eight days to put everything we do in class onto Zoom.”
What students are mistaking now for online education — long class meetings in videoconference rooms, professors in their bathrobes, DIY teaching tools — appears to be making them less open to it. In a survey of 14,000 college students in early April, 67 percent said they didn’t find online classes as effective as in-person ones. Among high school seniors, fewer than one in ten thought they would consider online college classes.
These opinions suggest that there is little likelihood that students will completely abandon their real-world campuses for cyberspace. Students who want classes best provided face to face, such as those in the performing arts or those which require lab work, will most likely continue to take them that way.
There will be some important lasting influences, though. Students are experiencing a flexible type of learning they may not like as undergraduates. The trend may not transform higher education, but it is likely to promote the combination of technology into it.
“Let’s take advantage of this moment to start a larger conversation about the whole design of higher education,” said Dr. Govindarajan. “We had better not lose this opportunity.”
