Poly-synchronous: Canvas-based and 1 collaborative requirement (you and one other participant will collaborate on an assignment)
Monday, April 28 – Friday, May 23
High 5 for Online Instruction is a required part of Phase II of the OETA. This course, facilitated by Madhura Sohani, leads faculty through 5 equity-creating practices that help online instructors build community, connect with our students, create clear assignments, and stay flexible within a well-structured Canvas course. This workshop helps you apply these practices to your online course. After completion of this workshop, you will be able to:
- apply a variety of strategies to use students’ names and pronouns in an online course
- develop a structured online course while applying a flexible approach to address student needs
- apply early intervention strategies to address students’ progress and behavior
- construct and revise assignments using the transparency theory to enhance the clarity of expectations for online students
- develop a quarter-long communication plan
- connect with colleagues to create a learning community
Successful completion will satisfy 12 hours of Phase II and you’ll receive a badge!
