Strengthening Experiential Learning: Innovative Virtual Engagement Strategies of Community Education Organizations
Ayers, Rachael E.; Laursen, Erik K.
Curriculum and Teaching, v36 n2 p73-85 Dec 2021
This study focused on the impact of COVID-19 on K-12 access to community education organizations such as museums, theaters, and art studios. Participants from five community education organizations were interviewed to explore and understand their experiences of developing and promoting virtual resources. While each organization responded differently, three approaches for adaptation and innovation were critical: existing virtual presence, collaboration, and responding to e-learning fatigue. Organizations found that the leveraging of technology in the short term may enhance K-12 access to their resources in the future.
