This book is the road map. COVID-19 triggered an existential crisis for American higher education. Faced with few safe choices, most colleges and universities switched to remote learning during the 2020 spring semester. The future, however, provides more choices about how institutions can fulfill their mission of teaching and research. But how do we begin to make decisions in an uncertain and shifting environment? In this concise guide, authors Edward J. Maloney and Joshua Kim lay out clear ways colleges and universities can move forward in safe and effective ways. The Low-Density University presents fifteen scenarios for how colleges and universities can address the current crisis from a fully online semester to others with students in residence and in the classroom. How can changing the calendar or shifting to hybrid models of blended classrooms impact teaching, learning, and the college experience? Could we emerge from this crisis with new models that are better and more adapted to today's world? The Low-Density University focuses primarily on teaching and learning, but student life (housing, athletics, health, etc.) are core to the college experience. Can we devise safe and effective ways to preserve the best of that experience? The lessons here extend beyond the classroom. Just as the pandemic will change American higher education, the choices we make now will change what college looks like for generations to come. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 Project Muse|bProject Muse Open Access 650 0 COVID-19 (Disease)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020000570 650 0 Education, Higher|xComputer-assisted instruction.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008118911 650 0 Education, Higher|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85041065|xTechnology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2001009096 650 0 Education, Higher|xAdministration.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009102068 650 0 Education, Higher|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85041065|xHealth aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005598 650 7 COVID-19 (Disease)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1984643 650 7 Education, Higher|xComputer-assisted instruction.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/903032 650 7 Education, Higher.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 903005 650 7 Education, Higher|xAdministration.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/903010 650 7 EDUCATION / Computers & Technology.|2bisacsh 650 7 EDUCATION / Administration / Higher.|2bisacsh 650 7 EDUCATION / Educational Policy & Reform / School Safety. |2bisacsh 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 655 7 Electronic books. .|2local 700 1 Kim, Joshua,|d1969-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2019053949|eauthor. 710 2 Project Muse.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174 710 2 Project Muse,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174|edistributor. 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 856 40 |zOnline eBook.
