- Abstract
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, many countries were forced to shut down human contact--the most familiar way of learning. In-person learning, one of the major learning and teaching methodologies, has been replaced temporarily by distance learning. Online Education has grown at an unprecedented speed around the globe. Institutions keep reiterating that learning is only a temporary solution during a volatile time. Schools and governments constantly announce the return of in-person learning. However, according to Lockee (5-6)[1], a professor of distance education and instructional design argued that online learning is here to stay. Weighing the impacts of in-person learning versus online learning, educators arrive at an intersection of reimagining the new landscape of post-pandemic learning. There has always been a prejudice against short films due to their condensed commercial and entertaining values; however, long-distance learning has become the new norm since the global pandemic. Therefore, short films can be adopted as a tool to bring about a more engaging atmosphere in virtual classes. In this study, I will look at the rising medium of distance learning through the art of the short film to argue it may open up new doors for learners and educators that exceed the traditional means of learning in a post-pandemic world.
