The Transformative Potential of Disruptions: A Viewpoint	2020-05-19		.txt	text/plain	3960	218	61	I also consider how the present disruption may facilitate a transformation of current practices that lead to a better world at the individual and institutional levels. I suggest that while these disruptions are undoubtedly inconvenient, not to mention potentially life-threatening, they do offer us an opportunity for transformative change. As researchers, we have the potential to play a significant role in transforming the opportunity and making the world a better place (Davison et al., 2019) . In an online class, the dynamics change and I find that, with a little effort, I can get 90% of the students to interact without disrupting each other or me. I thus transform the assessment process and provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned. The most challenging aspect of this transformation is accepting that asynchronous interactions can work, and that meetings are really not essential most of the time.	./cache/cord-301171-1lpd8dh9.txt	./txt/cord-301171-1lpd8dh9.txt
