(July 8, 2020)
Instructors face different challenges in welcoming students to a remotely-delivered course versus a traditionally-delivered course. In remotely-delivered courses, instructors cannot rely on face-to-face activities to break the ice and facilitate interactions. Instructors must carefully consider how they will use the tools and opportunities available in remote learning environments to create a safe environment for all learners and cultivate a sense of community and belonging. In this webinar, Educational Developers Dr. Sara Fulmer and Dr. Jennifer Reniers will share evidence-informed strategies to build a meaningful community among your learners and encourage students to engage with you and their peers from the first click.
