Higher education faculty partners with students, alum to publish article on the transition to online classes

Steve Tolman, Ed.D., assistant professor of higher education administration, published a book chapter in The Handbook of Research on Creating Meaningful Experiences in Online Courses, a book addressing the reluctance to teach online courses by addressing the learning experiences and outcomes that occur in online classrooms and highlighting pedagogical practices used by online instructors to make their courses and programs comparable to those offered face-to-face.

Tolman’s chapter, titled “The Transition from Teaching F2F to Online” was co-authored with current and former students from the Georgia Southern College of Education education leadership programs. M.Ed. Higher Education Administration alumni Matt Dunbar, K. Brooke Slone and Allie Grimes assisted with the publication, writing from experiences they had while enrolled in the online master’s program at Georgia Southern.

The chapter examines the experience from both the faculty and student perspective, allowing readers to understand success and challenges seen from both the facilitator and recipient of an online learning experience.

Tolman provides practices that have been well received by his students since transitioning to fully online courses at Georgia Southern, including instructor availability, intentionality on coursework, transcending the learning format, and paralleled experiences.
