Abstract

ABSTRACT: A Jewish high school adopted different models of online Zoom learning for the 2020-2021 schoolyear; research was conducted in two Israel studies classes that taught the same content, but one class was fully online and the other was a blended learning environment. The purpose of the study was to understand whether meaningful learning can be conducted online. The qualitative results showed that meaningful learning happened in both cohorts. The significance of the findings are relevant to educators in many disciplines as they show that despite a change in learning site, effective and meaningful education is attainable in online learning settings.
