Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the experience of students transitioning between online and in-person live event projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing upon longitudinal qualitative data collected over a 3-year period, we explored how students perceived the challenges, their own development, and the pedagogical changes. Events management pedagogy relies on experiential learning and the hosting of student-led in-person events. The absence of in-person events and teaching had a significant negative impact on students, not caused by the adjustment to learning environment or assessment but by the act of change itself. Students ultimately recognized the value of experiential learning online and the benefits of developing digital skills, communication, resilience, adaptability, and confidence, leading to the embedding of online communications and virtual elements within 2022’s live event projects. This paper considers the lessons learned from transitioning between in-person and digital event projects and evaluates the future of online tools for experiential learning in higher education.

“感觉真实”:2019冠状病毒病的活动管理和在线体验式学习

摘要:本文调查了2019冠状病毒病大流行期间学生在在线和现场活动项目之间过渡的经历。根据3年时间收集的纵向定性数据，我们探讨了学生如何看待挑战，他们自己的发展和教学变化。活动管理教学法依赖于体验式学习和学生主导的现场活动的主持。缺乏面对面的活动和教学对学生有显著的负面影响，不是由于对学习环境或评估的调整，而是由于改变本身的行为。学生们最终认识到在线体验式学习的价值，以及发展数字技能、沟通、弹性、适应性和信心的好处，从而在2022年的现场活动项目中嵌入了在线沟通和虚拟元素。本文考虑了从面对面和数字活动项目之间的过渡中吸取的教训，并评估了高等教育中体验式学习在线工具的未来。
