Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic precipitated a major disruption in pedagogy, especially for classes with a significant hands-on, interactive component. This work-in-progress describes using physical objects to revamp a computer literacy course for non-computing students from in-person interactive to online compatible. Since our objects span the ages of both traditional and non-traditional students we call the individual objects initiating classroom discussion TO\(^2\)YS, Teaching Online with Objects from Youth to Seniors.
