Digital technologies enable us to provide a variety of learning and communication opportunities. Additionally, they allow us to reach out to and actively engage course participants, and to frequently gauge students’ progress.

In this online session, we will showcase several “best-selling” engagement and communication online activities, which have been successfully incorporated in many Carleton courses in previous years, and we will focus on the pedagogical principles behind them, rather than technical solutions. The activities we will discuss include:

Weekly Announcements
Ask the Instructor forum
Introductory course activities
Synchronous online meetings and engagement
Discussion forums
Student feedback
Participants will also gain access to a follow-up video, where additional activities are discussed, including:

Weekly learning responses
Online sharing activities
Quizzes for learning
Transforming live lecture into an online lesson
“Path to success in your course” module
This workshop is part of Course Design Fundamentals, offered by TLS. Participants who complete five workshops and a guided reflection of the experience will receive a letter of completion to include in their teaching dossier.
