Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to document the transformation of a blended, high school Humanities course to a virtual course that maintains a strong academic focus and preserves the core values of a human-centered education. The authors share the process of redesigning the course content, learning activities, and assessment, using specific examples from their experience and their research. The authors evaluate their experience by presenting the challenges and benefits of this undertaking. Ultimately, the goal of the authors is to assure that the Humanities Program at the American Community Schools Athens will continue to adapt to the digital world, making wise use of educational technology to provide our students with a broad, humanistic, liberal arts education that will serve them well in any field of endeavor.
