With a Little Help from Our Friends: Teaching Collectives as Lifelines in Troublesome Times
Jettpace, Lynn; Miller, Leslie; Frank, Mary Ann; Clemons, Michelle; Goldfarb, Nancy
Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, v10 p127-134 Apr 2021
Faculty members often lack support structures in which they can support each other in crisis. The authors recently discovered that sharing ideas with a community of colleagues has made them more resilient. The Civility Community of Practice (CoP) at IUPUI transitioned to a weekly online teaching and support seminar in response to the university's unexpected move to online course delivery on account of the pandemic. This reflective essay will examine the transformative possibilities of a teaching collective in the face of crisis. It will include reflections by each of the five community members about how their CoP Zoom meetings helped them navigate and adapt to their personal and professional lives during the pandemic. The authors will discuss how moving their courses online challenged their teaching practices, motivated their experimentation with Zoom, and transformed their online classroom to impact the student learning experience. The essay concludes with an outline of the conditions that create successful learning communities.
