The Rapid Shift to Online Delivery and the Implications for Fine Arts Pedagogy

The objectives of this research were to examine the impact of the rapid shift to online teaching due to Covid 19 on Fine Arts performance (Music and Drama) Students and Faculty and then to investigate the efficacy of integrating online strategies and resources to support traditional face to face teaching. As teaching/learning performance in drama and music aim at embodied communication and interpretation within live performance, our disciplines are highly impacted by online learning. Findings of this qualitative data combined with research on the experience of other Fine Arts institutions and surveys of available resources will be applied to further research.
