| Summary: | Educators around the world know well how stressful it was to be suddenly forced to migrate their courses online during the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode of the Forced Change podcast explores how Canadian journalism instructors teaching radio, television and multimedia courses at post-secondary institutions adapted to moving to virtual environments from in-person environments, which often rely on replicating elements of physically collaborative newsrooms. An academically diverse panel of educators from Carleton University, Concordia University, and Toronto Metropolitan University discuss their initial difficulties in adjusting to the circumstances, how they simulated studio environments while working remotely, shifting their pedagogical approaches and uses of digital tools, and managing student mental health. The episode serves as both a record of how we managed things in the past as well as a roadmap for how we might approach another pandemic.
