Description

Are you looking for ways to increase student engagement in your online class but feel like you don’t have the time, energy, or motivation to revise the entire course? Well, there’s good news! Through Instructor Presence (IP)—the process of creating an online learning community through applications of teaching, social, and cognitive presence techniques—you can revitalize your online courses, energize your connections to students, and create a warm, friendly classroom environment primed for student success. Learn with us and leave with strategies you can implement today!

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  •  Identify how IP impacts student performance.
  • Adapt at least one current classroom activity to increase IP.
  • Create at least one new classroom activity that can increase IP.
