Event Date & Time
Event Description
Note: This session is intended for Graduate Students, and Undergraduate and Graduate TAs only.
“Asynchronous teaching” means any activity done by learners while the instructor is not present. Even though many courses typically include asynchronous components (e.g. readings, essays, or homework), the present context of emergency remote teaching invites us to reflect more deeply on the possibilities of asynchronous instruction.
Participants in this workshop will explore the dynamics of asynchronous instructor-to-student and student-to-student interaction and the role of these interactions in supporting learning. We’ll talk about connecting with students socially as well as cognitively, and how to guide their learning even when we’re not “there”.
Facilitator: Jacob Goldowitz, PhD Student, History
