Teaching through the Screen: Authentically Connecting with Students in Online Instruction
Summer 2020
More Details
Teaching creates a set of connections and relationships that are indispensable for learning. The mechanics and logistics of online instruction can obscure the necessity of those connections, giving us the false impression that the act of online teaching is simply one of providing content and accessing learning on pre-defined projects and outcomes. Yet, relationships matter, and are at the core of deep learning. This workshop will consider various ways that relationships can be developed in online courses in order to increase the quality of the students’ experience and their learning.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
