Description

This book is not a book; it is an invitation. As many institutions of higher education have gone into panic mode about how to respond responsibly and with pedagogical grounding to the rapid technological changes of our time, members of the University of Dayton community came to the table to talk.

The writings in this volume reflect the hopes, fears, observations, and tested strategies that were shared and developed by faculty and staff addressing the challenges of our times in an atmosphere of trust and solidarity.

These short reflections are meant to continue the conversation in our community and others like ours. In the spirit of Interdependence, Integrity, Imagination, Intentionality, and Iteration, they are an invitation to read, reflect, and share with others as we find our way forward—together.
