Little Endowed Chair of Theater and program director, but she\u2019s feeling prepared after the experience of moving online during Winter term. As part of the process, Fowler has been communicating with theater professionals and educators throughout the country. \u201cWe are all sharing innovative and exciting ideas to spice up teaching remotely,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fowler\u2019s class is one of 12 that Transylvania will offer this summer beginning June 1 \u2014 far more than normal, says Sarah Bray, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of biology. Registration was prioritized by class year to keep students on track for graduation. Most students can take one summer course for free as an \u201coverload course\u201d that will make up for May term 2020 classes that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe tried to get a mix of classes at all levels that fulfill a variety of general education credits,\u201d Bray says of the interesting array of liberal arts classes, as well as specific offerings geared to majors who may have lost an important sequencing course during this period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the summer courses are asynchronous, meaning that work can be done outside a specified class time. This helps students whose access to technology may be limited. Also, as Bray notes, it allows students \u201cto be at home or pursue other academic and career development while still taking a course.\u201d And these classes have been designed as \u201cremote\u201d from the beginning, with faculty \u201cchoosing texts, assignments and learning opportunities that make sense in remote learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Fowler, it\u2019s an unusual opportunity to share some of the best theater in the world with her students. As theater companies relax public access restrictions and stream their performances, her students are able to sample a variety of productions and determine what interests them most \u2014 just as they would on a theatrical version of Netflix, Fowler points out.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-810x745.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11421\" width=\"391\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image-810x745.png 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image-350x322.png 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image-730x671.png 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image-768x706.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image-300x276.png 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/04\/image.png 1096w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><figcaption>Fowler working with her acting class on campus<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the platform for interacting with her students may be different, her goals and activities remain very much the same. \u201cI hope to instill a passion or at least an appreciation of theater through this course,\u201d Fowler explains. The class will explore theater history and \u201chow theater has shaped our culture socially, politically and artistically,\u201d as well as introduce students to theatrical elements \u2014 from acting (for the camera) to sound design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the entire slate of summer courses, Fowler\u2019s class will develop with long-term goals in mind, with lasting impact. \u201cAt its core,\u201d she notes, \u201ctheater teaches us to work creatively and collaboratively. This helps students be better employees, leaders, inventors, thinkers and humans.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the 12 classes on offer this summer is meant to achieve more than simply helping students meet requirements and keep them engaged in a life of learning. As Bray explains, they\u2019re also intended \u201cto give faculty and students a sense of community, connection and normalcy in a tumultuous time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students may register <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inside.transy.edu\/registrar\/registration-information\/summer-2020-registration-instructions\/\">here<\/a><\/strong> or email&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:registrar@transy.edu\" target=\"_blank\">registrar@transy.edu<\/a>&nbsp;for assistance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Registration for an array of summer courses, taught remotely, begins Friday.
