Glassroom Learning

The book examines the impact of online education on theological students, particularly those preparing for pastoral ministry, amidst the shift towards digital learning accelerated by the pandemic. While online courses can enhance intellectual virtues, they may hinder character development and self-differentiation. The text highlights the negative effects of internet use on students' social well-being, leading to increased anxiety and distraction. It calls for theological schools to establish clearer standards for student formation and to reinforce embodied learning to better equip future clergy for a complex world.
