10-10-10: Communication that Matters (26FA-TTT-1)

📘 Description

First impressions really do count, and the first ten minutes a student is in your course can make or break their experience. Designing your course with the needs of diverse students in mind allows you to hit just the right note for that crucial first "introduction" and build intuitive elements that support each student's success. You'll discover the power of three important "tens" in your student's interaction in the course--the first 10 minutes, the first 10 hours, and the first 10 days. You'll leave with strategies to authentically welcome students, design impactful home pages, plan intentional communication, and create a community in your online class.

• use the CVC-OEI Course Design Rubric to inform how you design interaction into your course;
