Abstract
Strong faculty academic human caring presence is paramount during the exponential use of asynchronous, remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this article is to provide a holistic, theoretical foundation for evidence informed-caring pedagogical practices. Watson's (2008; 2018) Unitary Caring Science theoretical approach offers one pedagogical caring framework for advancing teaching-learning in the digital age. Examples to humanize the virtual classroom and remote or online teaching include narrative, theory-guided pedagogical approaches, such as creation of caring spaces and other modalities to transcend physical distancing and nurture Communitas (caring community) among of faculty and students. A theory-guided, holistic caring pedagogical approach supports the needs of both faculty and nursing students.
