High 5 in the Online/Virtual Classroom – Spring

Archana Alwar facilitating High 5 online

Even if you’ve taken High 5 before, we welcome you to dive into how to approach these 5 practices in online instruction. Virtual classes present new challenges when compared to on-ground classes. How do we build community, connect with our students, create clear assignments, and stay flexible as an instructor? What do the High 5 practices look like in the virtual classroom? This workshop provides you the opportunity to build community with colleagues while adding proven student retention strategies to your online teaching toolkit.

After completion of this workshop, you will be able to implement strategies that help your students in your virtual or on-ground classes to:

  1. Feel they belong right from the first day of class
  2. Receive timely feedback and recommendations to improve assignments and participation
  3. Access a variety of avenues to interact with classmates and instructor
  4. Increase academic confidence by receiving transparent assignments and assessments
  5. Know their instructor has a structured course but is also flexible when necessary
