Engaging Virtual Learners: Moving Classroom as Organization Online

The global shift toward online learning and remote work necessitated the transition of a highly experiential course to a virtual environment, challenging the assumption that Classroom-as-Organization (CAO), a teaching methodology designed to foster student engagement, skill development and deep learning, is limited to face-to-face (F2F) delivery. This article explores the process of adapting CAO’s interactive and immersive elements for online platforms, addressing both the challenges and opportunities presented by this transition. By reviewing the CAO literature, which predominantly focuses on F2F applications, we reflect on the complexities of translating such a dynamic pedagogy to online learning and propose potential avenues for future research on the effectiveness of CAO in virtual settings.
