Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic with the R2D2 Teaching Model: An Organising Aid for Online Higher Education Learners

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many papers have focused on remote learning and how to promote effective learning. The current research emphasises the applications of the R2D2 teaching model for online learning in higher education. R2D2 represents read, reflect, display, and do. This paper investigates the implementation of the R2D2 teaching model in higher education. The model’s characteristics, application in higher education, and use in diversity education are discussed. The detailed literature review of studies of the R2D2 teaching model shows that the approach has a positive impact on online teaching. Specifically, the R2D2 teaching model allows learners to interact with each other. The paper’s limitations and recommendations are presented in the conclusion.
