Abstract

During the COVID-19 crisis, teaching and learning activities were largely conducted online through open and distance learning (ODL). As a result, educators and students lacked the personal warmth and emotional support usually found in face-to-face classes, which affected the quality of the teaching and learning process. Therefore, what could educators do to facilitate the teaching and learning process during the pandemic? This chapter features narratives on humanistic practices in teaching that were carried out during the pandemic by five university lecturers. The narratives shed light on how they embedded humanistic elements in either one or several of these aspects of teaching: delivery, content, consultation, and assessment. Their pedagogical approaches indicate that education is not a rigid domain, but it can be extended beyond the four walls of the classroom and executed from the sincere heart.
