Abstract
The worldwide rapid transition to digital education in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 foreshadows expansive systematic transformation in the current pedagogical paradigm. Envisaging forthcoming shifts in the field of Korean dress studies that encompasses two subject divisions of Korean dress history and Korean dress constriction, this paper examines (1) the alternative actions taken by the universities, academic associations, and museums in the United States for the three months right after the lockdown in the mid-March, 2020, and (2) the available online resources for this field. The result finds that (1) freely accessible quality educational resources are exponentially increasing, and (2) the dress history education in Western academia is being implemented with close connection with institution, museum, and film and performing arts production. Upon the findings, the author contends that the field of Korean dress studies must grow to serve for a wider audience and meet global needs, and suggests the following groundworks: technical enhancement of e-learning tools; originality in curriculum contents; a pedagogical transition to build skills in solving real-world problems, teamwork and collaboration; global professional network bridging classrooms and community.
