Description

Engaging live sessions in online classes don’t just happen. They’re intentionally designed! By the completion of the course, you will demonstrate your ability to schedule, conduct, archive, and share a live session. You will also develop inclusive community norms, a learning pact, and a lesson plan for a live session that uses effective instructional skills to support the diverse needs of community college students. You will achieve these goals by asynchronously engaging with content and completing formative assessments in Canvas, as well as attending synchronous sessions in Zoom that scaffold your learning.
