How do we learn? It is both a simple and complex question. We have learned that teaching and learning online is remarkably different from face to face. This does not mean one is more effective than the other. Instead, by applying evidence-based instruction and culturally-responsive practices, we can create successful active learning environments where every student is engaged. Learning is a social process and one that can be greatly enhanced virtually. Be ready to move from passive to active participation in this session and beyond into your own virtual settings.

The pandemic quickly identified a need for professional development in virtual learning and teaching. Prior to the pandemic, only one-third of all U.S. college students had any type of online learning experience. Whether teaching synchronously, asynchronously, or in a blended format, preparation is required to convert face-to-face courses for online delivery. Research suggests a necessary creative balance between pedagogy and available technology that supports faculty in their efforts to design, deliver, and create course designs and content that meets the needs of all learners. This session focuses on strategies to create pedagogically sound and inclusive online learning environments.
