From the literature review to the conclusion, this article (20 page PDF) is heavily steeped in the theorizing of online learning, and especially the work of theoretical frameworks of Entwistle (1987) and Shulman (1987). It uses this frame to assess the impact of the pandemic on "changes in alignments between learners, leaders,and learning." The purpose of this paper seems to be to show how recent events have confirmed some perhaps overly ambitious frameworks from previous decades. All very good, but the line between what is stated in the theory and what was observed in practice over the last two years becomes quite blurry. Fair enough, but the observations about new challenges or reorganization of teaching space wildly underdetermines the theories in question, and the imposition of these theoretical frames may prevent us from seeing what actually changed in teaching and learning during the pandemic.
