Description
The online arena offers a novel way to meet the academic needs and expectations of a changing student body. However, the art of building and facilitating a quality online course is not traditionally a part of a teacher’s formal training. The challenge for both teachers and school administrators lies in learning how to provide a quality online learning experience that is as rigorous, engaging, and educational as the one students receive in the traditional classroom.
This session will provide participants with an idea of what UD is doing to impart best practices for transitioning face-to-face content to an online environment, pedagogical considerations for facilitating an online course, and the importance of student engagement and community in online courses.
