Faith, Life, and Learning Online: Promoting Mission Across Learning Modalities
Ebook
Overview
Faith, Life, and Learning Online is an invitation for faith-based institutions to take bold steps toward integrating a holistic mission of spiritual formation into the online learning environment. For Christian higher education, faith integration is a matter of mission, not modality. Regardless of whether learning happens in the traditional classroom, through hybrid models, or exclusively online, Christian universities have a missional mandate to continue their long legacy of forming students of competence and character. While traditional campuses continue to provide unique and meaningful opportunities for students to grow in their faith, online learning has opened new avenues for engagement and development of spiritual formation. As such, all Christian higher education institutions are now called to take advantage of this unique technological moment to continue to offer transformative opportunities for the holistic integration of faith, life, and learning in the online environment.
“In light of the changing landscape of online Christian higher
education and the need to ensure that Christian formation is taking
place, the authors provide a holistic approach that encompasses the
broader ecosystem of vocation and calling. The authors provide
students with a pathway for Christian formation and engagement in
the world, while welcoming diverse religious students to engage in
faith seeking understanding.”
—Mark A. Maddix, School of Theology & Christian Ministry, Point
Loma Nazarene University
“Faith, Life, and Learning Online does a remarkable job
bringing intentionality to the discussion of integrating formative
principles with life experiences. . . . This book could
help educators, administrators, and students alike reexamine
commonly held notions about formation across educational
landscapes. It articulates the capacity to use online education to
launch students into the world as change agents informed by faith
and spiritual depth.”
—Mary Lowe, Rawlings School of Divinity, Liberty
