Session 8: Students on what worked in the transition to online and remote teaching [Watch Now]

Date and Time: Monday, August 10 from 1-2 p.m.

Presenter:
Srishtie Phartiyal
Meryl Rae Villacastin
Jennifer Roby Jude

Organized by: Dr. Nancy Johnston, Associate Profesor. Teaching Stream, Writing in the Disciplines Coordinator; Dr. David Chan, Educational Developer, Centre for Teaching and Learning

Session Abstract: This workshop is focused on student perspectives of best practices, in remotely taught courses this spring and summer. We surveyed students and asked them to share their perspectives on what worked for them, what teaching environments and practices supported their learning. Our aim is give instructors a chance to hear from students in order to support fall teaching and to identify those practical, constructive or innovative practices that worked well for them. At the event, a panel of students will represent their peers on what worked for students and will answer our questions about learning. The panel includes student representatives from across the disciplines.
