Online courses can feel isolating, dry, and unengaging for both students and faculty. The distance inherent in polysynchronous formats raises barriers to meaningful interactions that foster effective learning. But you can create online courses in all formats that welcome and support all students, that exclude or marginalize no one, and that faculty find rewarding to teach as well.
With a focus on Universal Design for Learning, Culturally Responsive Teaching, and social and emotional connections that promote a strong learning community, EDUCAUSE will help you explore ways of designing and facilitating online courses to promote rich and robust teaching and learning interactions in this four-part Learning Lab.
