Online learning and teaching comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, forms, and tastes. As diverse as online learning can be, similar to classroom teaching, there are key ingredients any instructor can lean on to create a welcoming and engaging learning environment for their students and themselves. The purpose of this session is to discuss base ingredients, as well as some seasoning used in online learning environments to engage both instructors and their students. Whether you’ve taught online a little, or a lot, there will be something for everyone who teaches online in this session.
This session will highlight topics and strategies related to:
- Design and layout
- Content and activities
- Interactions, and
- Assessment
If you are unable to join us in person, please connect in via Zoom!
