Dr. Sarah Straub, an Education Studies professor at Stephen F. Austin State University, believes so much in the potential of asynchronous online learning to extend opportunity to more students that after the Covid-19 pandemic, she wanted to learn about transitioning more of her courses to that format.<\/p>\n

Straub was assisted in that in 2022 when she participated in Digital Learning Praxis: Engendering Quality and Equity Across the Learning Lifecycle, a workshop facilitated by Dr. Angela Gunder of Online Learning Consortium. This virtual workshop, offered through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by Every Learner Everywhere\u00ae and its network partners, addressed student-centered instruction through evidence-based strategies that impact student engagement, metacognitive skills, and long-term content retention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first signed up for this training, my concept as to what I could get out of it was very narrow,\u201d Straub says. \u201cI was hoping to grow my individual skill set with a few new tools or a list of equity practices that I could essentially check off as I addressed them.\u201d<\/p>\n
