Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article examines the impact of emergency remote learning and draws on both current and prior research to suggest ways forward in teaching and learning in higher education. Synchronous online learning was the primary delivery method during the Covid‐19 pandemic, but research has identified many limitations in this form of delivery, as well as some benefits. Many lessons and best practices in online learning had been developed before the pandemic, but these have been largely ignored both during and following the pandemic. The author suggests that hybrid learning (a mix of in‐person and online) is in general the future of teaching and learning in higher education, although there will be important but specific markets for both wholly in‐person and fully online learning. Research has indicated that effective online and hybrid learning requires a major shift in teaching, and particularly in assessment methods, from those used in classroom teaching. This presents a major challenge for faculty development, and some strategies to meet this challenge are suggested.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
