Description:

The COVID-19 Pandemic transformed nearly every aspect of daily life across the globe in just a few short years. Thankfully, we’ve made it a long way from the days of no contact, social distancing, masks, and general isolation. Still, many aspects of this time have continued into the present. This is particularly true regarding education, which saw a massive overhaul during that period. Remote learning and technology infused education were a necessity then, and may prove to be an invaluable improvement as we go forward.

Instructional Technology Theory in the Post-Pandemic Era investigates the facets of incorporating technology and virtual spaces into education permanently. The experienced educators that compiled this book utilize their years of knowledge to bring to light the intricacies of adapting virtual education laboratories for the foreseeable future. They examine student performance metrics, detail teacher development practices, consider the social aspects of tech-infused education, and explore the implementation of new pedagogies for best results. Covering topics such as companionship in distance education, pandemic teaching experiences, and professional and teacher development, this book is a valuable resource for educators, pre-service teachers, administrators, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and more.
