Open Resources to Grow Pedagogies of Care: Student-Centered and Adaptive Strategies

Sixteen leading college and university educators have produced a collection of open-source resources, which focus on the notion of care, to share expert insights for faculty amid emergency remote instruction. The materials are based on pedagogy from their recent books, all of which have been —or will soon be—published, in West Virginia University Press’ Teaching and Learning in Higher Education series, edited by James M. Lang. All authors have substantial experience both teaching and advising others about teaching during the pandemic—and beyond.

The resources in this collection span a range of topics from connecting with students in Zoom to infusing play into your curriculum. They take a variety of forms, including videos, audio files, infographics, and articles, and none require more than 25 minutes to watch, listen to or read.

While some of the materials are focused on the sudden transition to online instruction, others are more foundational and will be useful to educators beyond this particular moment. They all provide basic principles along with very concrete examples of practices— specific techniques that every college and university instructor can adopt immediately. And they all put the wellbeing of students—and their instructors— at the center of the pedagogy.
