But with the sudden peril of COVID-19 requiring the immediate and wholesale shift to online instruction, every member of the faculty and student body faced the urgent need to adapt fully to digital learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of adapting and thinking creatively to meet this new challenge, Goodman notes, is itself a liberal arts practice. \u201cTo take something that you see in the world and change it and make it work for a problem you\u2019ve never seen before \u2014 that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With little time to make the transition to online instruction, faculty had to reassess their approach to teaching. And they had to do it quickly. Fortunately, the DLA provided an infrastructure to build on, as members of the faculty already had been researching and sharing ways to use digital tools. But now the scope is all-encompassing, no longer a simple option of augmenting familiar modes of teaching with something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/minify\/DLA_4C_noTU.png\" alt=\"Digital Liberal Arts Logo\" width=\"225\" height=\"71\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe recognized that one of the challenges in moving online is that you can\u2019t do the same thing online as you do in the classroom,\u201d Goodman explains. \u201cAnd that\u2019s a blessing and a curse.\u201d The positive, for Goodman, has been the process of re-evaluating what matters in teaching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the technological apparatuses already provided by Transylvania\u2019s staff, Goodman says that she and DLA co-director Tim Polashek, a music professor and director of the Digital Arts and Media program, understood that their job was to help support faculty from a pedagogical standpoint. \u201cA lot of our thoughts have been about how we can focus on pedagogy while also using digital tools and creating community among our colleagues,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the DLA continued to bring faculty together (virtually) for lunchtime discussions called Tech Tuesdays, the ultimate goal remained to offer students a valuable learning experience. That meant not only finding new ways to teach content, but also identifying creative solutions for students to produce and present their work. Faculty sharing their experiences of what had and had not worked was particularly helpful. Most notably, Goodman recalls, was the final conversation of the term, when Martha Ojeda, professor of Spanish and French and pre-health committee adviser, articulated how faculty recognized that distilling content and being creative were essential in this current crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I approached this presentation in a new way and discovered things that I would not have otherwise, and that is a positive experience for me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Madison Phillips &#8217;21<br><br><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the pandemic, the DLA had been supporting faculty integration of digital tools like the use of student video-audio production and asynchronous content engagement. These elements were easily adapted for use in the second part of winter term. So, when Goodman\u2019s students had to adjust to presenting their research online, they created alternative ways of doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of them did PowerPoints with recordings; some used new tools like Adobe Spark\u201d \u2014 a platform covered in an earlier Tech Tuesday, Goodman says. Her students combined what they\u2019d seen through the virtual exhibitions and Spark to present their own project. The results of their creativity were exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy students created absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous presentations,\u201d Goodman says. \u201cThey were stunning, seamless and easy to work through.\u201d And they were likely very different, she muses, than what they would have been in person. \u201cThat to me has been one of the most amazing things that we\u2019ve seen come out of this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-810x405.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11925\" width=\"486\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-810x405.png 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-350x175.png 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-730x365.png 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-1536x767.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-2048x1023.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/05\/Spark-Mason-image-1024x512.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For one of her students, Madison Phillips \u201921, a history major and art minor, the process of presenting as well as learning online was a challenge to be met. Her project, \u201cShirley Ardell Mason: An Outsider Looking Into Post-War America,\u201d focused on a Lexington artist known to the world as \u201cSybil\u201d \u2014 the woman diagnosed with multiple personalities. She says she worked to make her presentation \u201cfeel like a digital exhibition of Mason\u2019s work\u201d and found the new digital tool to be a vital part of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOverall, online learning pushed me out of my comfort zone,\u201d says Phillips, \u201cbut that is not really a bad thing. I approached this presentation in a new way and discovered things that I would not have otherwise, and that is a positive experience for me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodman couldn\u2019t agree more: \u201cThis is definitely a challenging moment, but I\u2019m an eternal optimist. I think there are definite, positive things that have come out of this \u2014 at least, innovative teaching and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Digital
