This professional development offering engages stakeholders of diverse roles in critically examining the design, facilitation, and practices surrounding care for students in online, blended, and digital learning environments. As a comprehensive service, participants will take part in a series of flexible synchronous and asynchronous points of engagement, experiencing first-hand direct models and approaches for quality, equitable online learning that centers student care. Topics covered within this service include:
- Backwards Designing Student-Centered Digital Learning Environments;
- Using the Community of Inquiry Framework to Create Engagement with Content, Faculty and Peers;
- Amplyfying Student Presence, Belongingness and Voice;
This experience is designed to be offered to cross-institutional cohorts, but can also be situated for individual institutions as well. The inclusion of the train-the-trainer format will allow for this curriculum to be remixed and contextualized by institutional team members for future offerings from the institution.
