Abstract

To meet the urgent need for complex thinking skill acquisition and application in higher education, there is wisdom in utilizing online platforms and media, especially in an intentional online experiential learning environment delivered through an ethics of care and cultural humility lens. Typically, deep learning is intentionally nurtured and valued in higher education. Additionally, online curriculum options have become essential for both institutional and individual student survival. Consequently, honors as a discipline has the opportunity to embrace current technological realities and develop a healthy suite of online learning opportunities promoting equity, delivering a rich curriculum, critical thinking, and preparing student researchers. Humanizing the online learning space and building a pedagogy of intentional caring connections (pilina/relationships in the Hawaiian language) further invigorates classroom learning. Lessons learned can be applied in broader learning contexts.
