This guide offers educators the tools to adapt courses for various learning environments. Pivoting Your Instruction emphasizes flexible strategies for effective teaching.
This practical guide for college and university instructors, Pivoting Your Instruction, provides essential strategies for designing and preparing courses that can adapt to various learning environments. Whether the setting is online, hybrid, or traditional face-to-face teaching, this book equips educators with the tools needed to create flexible and effective learning experiences for their students. Author Bruce M. Mackh delves into a comprehensive instructional design approach that is applicable across all modalities, allowing instructors to pivot quickly as circumstances change.
Chapters in Pivoting Your Instruction offer quick takeaways and address both the challenges and opportunities that arise in different instructional models. The book emphasizes the importance of high-impact practices and fosters a culture of care among faculty and students alike. By encouraging a student-centered mindset, educators can effectively incorporate principles from Design Thinking, User Experience Design, Instructional Design, and Learning Experience Design, ultimately leading to the development of high-quality courses.
The strategies presented in this guide are designed to benefit both new and experienced faculty members, helping them save time and maintain instructional continuity during transitions. With a focus on achieving excellence in teaching, Pivoting Your Instruction serves as a valuable resource for educators looking to enhance their instructional practices and adapt to the evolving landscape of higher education.
"Pivoting Your Instruction bridges a gap between faculty who have vast knowledge in their field of study but little or no knowledge of how to be student-centered in their teaching approach. Principles and concepts such as the benefits of a hyflex approach in teaching, instructional models that incorporate high-impact practices, and building a culture of compassion while keeping course quality are timely following the 2020 pandemic. This book should be mandatory for those preparing for university teaching in their PhD programs, new faculty, and experienced faculty who are ready to step into online course development and teaching."
—Cari Mathwig Ramseier,Director of Instructional Support Services, Viterbo University, USA
"Pivoting Your Instruction is Bruce Mackh’s latest book that shares promising practices to close the gap between traditional approaches and the remote teaching necessitated by the global pandemic. Rather than a new normal, Mackh provides the opportunities we now have to create a next normal by embracing what emerged during a global health emergency. By drawing upon design innovation, he provides effective approaches that advance learning. I highly recommend this book to any faculty member who wants to pivot with intention—and boost learning by taking their teaching to the next level."
