This chapter contends that online pedagogies in the context of Christian theological higher education are most effective when they not only draw upon the best pedagogical theories for online teaching and learning but also when they embody and perform the distinctives of the particular theological tradition into which they are forming students. It begins with an overview of the current state of research taking place in the domain of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). It then considers the important discourse surrounding educational psychology. The chapter then shifts to focus on spiritual formation as a learning outcome that is perhaps unique to religious higher education, which indicates that the best online pedagogies are always already formative, even if they are not explicitly religious. Finally, it concludes by considering how this area of research is related to and can be seen as situated within the area of digital religion studies. |
