特邀社论:数字教育和在线学习实现包容性和教学公平(B 部分)
本特刊出版之际,正值数字教育和在线学习成为应对正在发生的 COVID-19 大流行病的核心,学生和讲师都远离校园。为响应 COVID-19 的严格规定,促进社会疏远,各大学取消了所有面授课程,转而开展数字教育和在线学习。这种过渡也被称为紧急远程教学(ERT)(Hodges et al.)过渡的核心是被称为学习管理系统(LMS)的数字化学习平台。Linder 等人(2017 年,第 27 页)将 LMS 定义为 "一种软件系统,为团体和个人在线使用的一系列课程工具提供组织结构"。van Dijck 等人(2018 年,第 I、2 页)认为,数字平台 "被誉为经济进步和技术创新的驱动力",并促成了 "参与式文化"。Dlamini 和 Ndzinisa(2020 年)进一步指出,数字学习平台是实现在线教学的教学工具。
