Humanizing Online Teaching & Learning (21SP-HUM-3)

April 5, 2021

Apr 5 – May 2, 2021
3.0 credits

Description

Are you looking for the secret sauce for building community and fostering meaningful student-student interactions? Well, you’ve found it. Research shows that online students are more invested in a class when they have an instructor who cares about their learning success and this relationship is even more important for underserved students. But conveying your human presence, empathy, and awareness in an online class requires intention and a toolkit of effective practices. In this class, you will be immersed in a supportive online learning community as you develop humanized practices for your online course that will lay an inclusive foundation for community building and collaboration.

To successfully complete this course, you will need a webcam or smartphone and a YouTube account.
