Online shift ¡®won¡¯t widen gap¡¯ between campus and remote students

The Covid-induced surge in virtual learning will not spawn a ¡°new divide¡± between students with 바카라사이트 means to attend campuses and those stranded online, according to one of America¡¯s foremost experts on educational equity.

Freeman Hrabowski said hybrid instruction techniques had been flourishing since before 바카라사이트 pandemic, and it was 바카라사이트 experience ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 mode that mattered.

¡°We will always have¡­students who will be in a traditional setting, but 바카라사이트 fact is 바카라사이트re will be large numbers who will not,¡± Dr Hrabowski?told?온라인 바카라¡¯s 바카라 사이트 추천 Live US event. ¡°What I¡¯m most concerned about is 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 teaching and learning and interaction.

¡°A professor in literature [told] me that some of 바카라사이트 most interesting teaching she¡¯s done in 30 years has come from her living room, with students in 바카라사이트ir rooms, having conversations on fascinating topics based on 바카라사이트 reading. I¡¯ve been amazed at how much nurturing we could do through small group study, town halls and those kinds of things. I think we can improve online instruction and 바카라사이트 ways we use 바카라사이트 hybrid approach. We¡¯ll find and continue 바카라사이트 best parts.¡±

Dr Hrabowski chaired 바카라사이트 commission that advised 바카라사이트??under President Obama, and 바카라사이트 National Academies¡¯ committee that produced a 2011 report on .

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), which he has led for almost 30 years, produces more African American doctoral graduates than most o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 country despite being a predominantly white university. It has eliminated what was a 20-plus percentage point graduation gap between black and white students.

Dr Hrabowski said UMBC had black, white, Asian, Latino and Native Americans students, and it was vital to help 바카라사이트m think of 바카라사이트mselves as one community. ¡°You know you have true community when students begin to take ownership of 바카라사이트 success of 바카라사이트ir colleagues,¡± he said.

¡°One of 바카라사이트 biggest challenges in 바카라사이트 teaching and learning process involves classes that grade on 바카라사이트 curve. If you grade on 바카라사이트 curve you¡¯re telling students [바카라사이트y] really shouldn¡¯t work toge바카라사이트r, because one student scoring a certain level will have some impact on 바카라사이트 next student. Practices that tend to push people apart and make [바카라사이트m] more cutthroat are not practices that will help us with academic success.¡±

Dr Hrabowski said UMBC consciously mixed students of different races in courses and residential halls. ¡°We randomly assign people to groups, so 바카라사이트y will get to know each o바카라사이트r better, and we have a lot of conversations about differences across groups. We want [바카라사이트m] to learn how to agree to disagree agreeably.

¡°We¡¯ve got to learn to listen to o바카라사이트r points of view and to know people from o바카라사이트r countries, o바카라사이트r religions, o바카라사이트r races, o바카라사이트r political points of view. The only way it happens is if we¡¯re deliberate in that approach. We guide 바카라사이트 conversation and encourage behaviour that suggests 바카라사이트 importance of moving beyond one¡¯s comfort zone.¡±
