Description of Conference: To teach well in the online environment, instructors need to explore new pedagogical options and craft learning activities that fit the medium. Instructional strategies that have evolved in classrooms and lecture halls typically have minimal success in online instruction.
Come explore a new perspective for online strategies and the evolving role of the instructor. We will review creative learning experience designs that reflect sound instructional principles and technological innovations.
What You Will Learn
Through a detailed review of online/blended learning environments, you will examine:
The evolving role of instructors
How to establish effective communication and interaction in the absence of face-to-face instruction
How to motivate students to learn
Pedagogical techniques that differ from traditional face-to-face techniques
How to create ideal learning experiences
Assessment techniques for measuring student achievement and learning
How higher order student learning outcomes can be assessed
We will create a wiki that will be a living reference for everything you've learned and created with your peers.
A Unique Format for Learning
This hands-on conference will model "learning circles", a unique strategy that focuses on dialogue and an open exchange of ideas to develop new practices and action plans on-site. The learning circle approach helps enhance your experience and stimulate creativity and innovation.
We will include time to address your topics as they come up, lots of group work and consultation and most importantly, we will focus on transferable knowledge. You will create an action plan to take what you learn back to campus to train your faculty.
