Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Living in Mapworld: Academia, Symbolic Abstraction, and the Shift to Online Everything” by Simon Penny. Abstract: I comment on Simon Penny’s main points about human cognition and his concerns about online education. I then provide an example and novice 4E assessment of my experience teaching mathematics remotely during the pandemic in the hope that it will encourage us to self-reflect on our own experiences, and determine whether frameworks such as 4E can shed light on our own observations and explanatory models during this most extraordinary period.
