Development and deployment of distance delivery degrees: a collegial conversation

CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONLINE PEDAGOGY In any instructional context whether face to face, online, or hybrid, a number of factors are present: course content, assessments, pedagogy, and students' learning outcomes. Can you make stronger connections with your students through popular culture analogies to course content? TOPIC 2: TESS DISCUSSES HOW WE CREATE ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADE IN AN ONLINE COURSE We found that when designing assignments, we all think about our goals for student learning and the students' prior background knowledge on the topic. [...]both Autumn and I worry that with more "lectures," students will not be as inclined to do all of the readings. Since we do not typically lecture in our in-person courses, we have not taken up that pedagogy online. Would it be beneficial for a colleague to act as a student in your class for a week in order to provide you feedback? TOPIC 4: AUTUMN DISCUSSES LEARNER ATTRIBUTES AND OUTCOMES Another point of discussion that we have had is about who our students are, their backgrounds, and how to best facilitate their positive learning outcomes.
