Designing Impactful Activities for Online Learning

Event Date & Time

  • January 12, 2021

Event Description

Note: This session is intended for Graduate Students, and Undergraduate and Graduate TAs only

Especially with online teaching, we as instructors and TAs need to work extra hard to bring our students in to each and every lesson. We know that teaching and learning online is difficult, so how can we ensure that the quality of our learners’ online education meets the same standards of excellence as in face-to-face teaching? In this workshop, we will aim to understand how students learn best. We will develop tangible steps to think about engaging our learners in the learning process and hope that participants will leave this workshop with easy-to-implement strategies and tools to develop impactful activities that are aligned with course objectives.

Facilitators:

  • Jonathan Agyeman, PhD Student, Statistics
  • Jennifer Brown, PhD Candidate, Pharmaceutical Sciences
