MIT AND FIT Remote Learning Playbook

The rapid migration to remote learning due to COVID-19 has presented difficulties for teachers and learners alike. While educators and students around the world are adapting quickly to changing circumstances, the urgent need for new approaches, methodologies, and pedagogies are undeniable. The goal of this project is to study and learn from the many innovative attempts by educational professionals from around the world. At the same time, through a customized design sprint process derived from the design thinking methodology, we explore new ways in which educators can better adapt to the remote learning environment and teach design and other similar creative subjects remotely.

This project is part of the MIT AND FIT interdisciplinary workshop sponsored by the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA), and the core methodology used is the Synchronous and Collaborative Remote Experiential Learning (SC·REL™) pedagogy developed by award-winning educators, Prof. C.J. Yeh and Prof. Christie Shin.
