This workshop will give you ideas on how your syllabus can provide high levels of interaction between the learner and the material, tasks, and assessments that are required for your course.

online session Connections in Online Classes
Session leader Laura Paciorek writes: Since I started teaching online, I have been exploring the idea of how to connect with students in an online environment. There are six types of connections that I strive to facilitate in my classes. This workshop will highlight those six types of connections and some strategies that may work in fostering those connections. A brief literature review about connections in online courses will be shared as a part of this presentation. Elluminate Recording is here and PowerPoint slides are here. Help us out!
