BRIDGING EQUITY AND ENGAGEMENT GAPS IN THE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
July 22, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Every student needs a sense of belonging to excel in class. Unfortunately, the strategies that successfully engage students in physical classrooms often do not work in the digital environment. Last semester’s sudden transition to virtual teaching left even veteran professors struggling to build a community for their students—but students’ ongoing struggles with technology, food, income and housing insecurity make engagement more important than ever.
As many schools plan to teach remotely this fall, faculty are in search of ways to engage every student in the middle of an unprecedented set of challenges.
Strong student engagement is possible in the virtual classroom, but it requires outside-the-box strategies that embrace the uniqueness of virtual learning. Join a panel of faculty and teaching experts for an interactive discussion on how to plan ahead for another semester of virtual teaching and address gaps in equity and engagement in the digital environment.
