Ideas from […]

• Catholic Identity and Online Education

  What is it that makes an education Catholic? Can one get a Catholic education online? Would a degree from an online program be any more or less Catholic than one from a “traditional” college or university? As I was thinking about this post for today, I wanted in particular to…

• Relating Sacramentally in Online Teaching

  

  Originally posted on Daily Theology:
  By Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, Ph.D. What does sacramentality look like in an online classroom? Stephen Okey’s recent reflection on “Catholic Identity and Online Education” is a timely conversation starter, and I appreciate his framework of focusing especially on five key areas of concern around Catholic identity. Of these five, the third…

• Creating Classrooms for Social Justice | Edutopia

  The author, Dr. Dell’Angelo, makes some great points about how to use the idea of social justice to structure course content and course design. Her work also aligns with what I have been looking at in terms of applying Catholic social teaching and approaches to higher education to online learning communities. I am glad to […]

• What Makes For a Good Online Community?

  If you have been following my posts this summer (summing up here), then you know one of the issues I am currently investigating is how to translate the Catholic approach to higher education from a face-to-face context to an online context.  For us at Dominican University, that means a continued focus on our relationship-centered approach […]

• An Autoethnography of Collegium – Applications for Higher Education

  

  As reported by The Atlantic, secular beliefs are on the rise among young people, and conservative Christians are withdrawing from secular society whilst demanding their religious beliefs be tolerated, even if it means discrimination and intolerance.  And this week’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby and other similar businesses that are owned by […]

After days of discussing, debating, defining what is Catholic intellectualism, Catholic social teaching, […]
