Due to the coronavirus pandemic, educators are being challenged to move to
online teaching in a short period of time. Besides generating course material,
it’s important to incorporate elements that promote student engagement and
community building to online courses. This recording consists of 2 sessions: the
Fennema workshop and a roundtable in resources and support for online teaching.
On the Fennema workshop, Richard Felder and Rebecca Brent, prominent educators and owners of the Education Designs, Inc., showcase how to get students actively engaged online. At the roundtable, four professionals from academia and the industry share resources and techniques aimed at supporting teaching and learning in online courses.
Attendees will be able to
1. Learn about and generate their own ideas for student activities in synchronous and asynchronous online classes
2. Experience several typical activities from a student’s perspective
3. Share questions and concerns about online instruction in general and active engagement in particular
4. Identify opportunities for introducing simulation-based enhancement of learning to complement/ replace laboratory modules and complement lectures in food safety (microbiology, processing, and risk)
5. Discover small changes that they can implement in their courses to positively impact student motivation and engagement in an online setting
Agenda:
Fennema Workshop: How to get students actively engaged - online!
