Posted on March 1, 2019April 12, 2024Active Learning Across Modalities: Techniques for Fostering Active Learning in Online Courses Active learning is a method of learning in which students are actively engaged and involved in the learning process. In order to learn, students must do more than just listen — they must read, write, discuss, or be engaged in solving problems. In this session, participants will learn about active learning strategies as well as how active learning is not limited to a face-to-face or synchronous environment. Additionally, the presenters will showcase examples of how active learning can be achieved in an online environment. Posted on September 11, 2018August 1, 2024Strategies to Facilitate a Cross-Cultural and Inclusive Online Environment With our increasingly diverse population of students, creating a more inclusive learning environment can be challenging, especially in online courses. However, inclusivity is an important element for any successful learning environment in any modality. In this session, participants will learn about ways in which they can facilitate a cross-cultural and inclusive online environment for their students. The presenters will cover strategies, best practices, and online course tools which we can be used to help establish and maintain inclusion. Additionally, a UCF professor will share her experience and course examples.
