Event Date & Time
Event Description
Note: This session is intended for Graduate Students, and Undergraduate and Graduate TAs only.
Establishing respectful learning environments can be challenging when students have diverse learning experiences, and even more so in classrooms that use both synchronous and asynchronous online environments. This session will provide opportunities for TAs to establish practical guidelines for designing respectful learning environments, develop strategies to encourage respectful online communication, and analyze the uses and limitations of several teaching technologies and applications in fostering a respectful online learning environment. This session will also model numerous activities through peer-to-peer engagement for an enriched experience of online learning environments.
Facilitators:
- Lesley Wong, PhD student, Faculty of Education
