To navigate through these unknown and traumatic times, educators must be knowledgeable about how learning happens (and why it often does not). Recognizing the affective and cognitive dimensions of learning illuminates the need to understand our students as humans with rich, complicated stories and foster positive instructor-student relationships at a distance to ensure all students are poised for success. This session will illuminate how humanized online teaching provides a foundation of trust you can build upon in your course and foster rigor through empathy.
Tips and tricks for staying organized and getting students more engaged in synchronous sessions. How to keep online learning fun, while sharing accountability with your students. We will showcase alternative tools and programs that enhance the online synchronous learning experience, including using multiple cameras and screens, student appointment scheduling tools, on-screen annotations, metacognitive check-ins and more!
Teaching asynchronously doesn’t have to mean being out of sync with your students. In this session, we will discuss how to create and maintain a human connection from the very beginning and all throughout the semester.
