With almost a full semester of experience teaching remotely, we have lessons to learn from the lessons we have taught. Beginning with our strengths and challenges as a teacher, this edge-of-your seat, eye-opening online seminar will explain the strategies we used to adapt to the sudden move online and ideas for building strategies for the future. This online seminar will explore the importance of integrating your strengths of practice with relevant findings from the science of learning and core principles of Universal Design to teaching online. Discover how to leverage technology to elevate your teaching in what are, to many of us, less than optimal circumstances as we prepare for the newish normal this Fall.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will learn to:

  • Identify your strengths of practice as a teacher
  • Utilize your strengths and weaknesses when designing a distance-delivered course
  • Apply key findings from the science of learning
  • Recognize how these findings are revealed in your practice
  • Describe the core principles of Universal Design for Learning
  • Design your practice around your strengths of practice, the science of learning, and the principles of Universal Design for Learning
