is helping faculty all across 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis continue their quest to create an engaging virtual experience for students while promoting high-quality instruction. This weekly meeting series, hosted by the Center for Educational Effectiveness, or CEE, provides an opportunity to discuss strategies and share lessons learned.

鈥淥ur goal is to provide a community space where faculty can come together and share their experiences with remote teaching in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere,鈥 said Patricia Turner, who helps facilitate the discussions for CEE. 鈥淲e鈥檝e had a great turnout so far, and the feedback we鈥檝e received has been very positive.鈥

Debbie Fetter recently shared her time-saving tips during a FacultyConnect session.

For the past two years, she has taught an online nutrition course (Nutrition 10V) that typically draws 700 to 900 students each quarter. She recommends the following strategies:

  • Communicate often. Sending weekly announcements is a good way to communicate and connect with students. Incorporate 鈥渢ips for success鈥 and consider using emoji to show expression.
  • Be accessible. Designate a set time for 鈥渙nline office hours.鈥 If necessary, transform office hours into a study hall to discuss complex questions.
  • Develop a plan to assess learning.
  • Don鈥檛 forget to establish an 鈥渙ff鈥 time. In an online environment, it can be tempting to be available 24/7, but it鈥檚 not sustainable.

鈥淭his is a challenging time for students and faculty alike and I hope sharing what I've learned can help others,鈥 Fetter said. 鈥淚t's been great to see our diverse teaching community come together virtually to share resources and support each other during this transition to remote education.鈥
