Developing Strategies to Engage Online Students
Duration: 1 hour
Facilitator: Dr. Adam Peck
Price: $50.00
Overview:
As many institutions consider extending online-only instruction through the fall semester, and
many more plan for a potential “second wave” that could interrupt normal instruction in the
fall and spring, it’s essential that we make plans to do more than simply translate what we
would normally do to the online environment – but to fully adapt to this new learning
environment. It’s also imperative to do this with student engagement. We may begin by
thinking that an effective student organization should simply meet on video conferencing
software instead of in a room in the student center – but what would it look like to embrace
new potentials we have not discovered, to make a real and meaningful connection with our
students at a distance.
This innovative and forward-looking webinar will provide practical guidance for developing
strategies to authentically engage students in online environments. Applying student
engagement theory and research regarding how individuals engage and learn online, the
audience will leave with easy to implement approaches to helping their students learn, lead and
connect online.
