The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a significant transformation in how class material is presented and taught. We are literally in the age of digital transformation, and the role of technology has become more invaluable than ever before to our teaching. With such rapid and unanticipated changes, we need to modify our pedagogical strategies accordingly. This talk aims to investigate: (i) providing conceptual scaffolding and concrete strategies to tackle the underlying complexities of remote instruction (Goodell & Kessler 2020) and (ii) presenting sample learning activities that can demonstrate the connection between the theory of learning and its practice.
