Part of Teaching & Learning Day Fall 2020

Online courses present unique challenges for both students and faculty. Small teaching can help. We’ll explore practical, evidence-based changes you can make in your online teaching practice. These are small but impactful adjustments that result in significant gains in student engagement and learning. Whether you’re new or experienced online faculty, you’ll gain brief learning activities, minor course design modifications, and simple changes to your communication with online students, based on the approach outlined in Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes (2019). We’ll also consider strategic assessment strategies that foster academic integrity in online classes. You’ll leave with new approaches to facilitate engaged learning online and ideas to implement next week or next semester.

Small teaching online: Applying learning science in online classes by Flower Darby and James M. Lang is available through Seneca Libraries. https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.libaccess.senecacollege.ca/lib/senecac/detail.action?docID=5780349
