Abstract
There is no denying that online learning is expanding to levels never before seen nor anticipated, but that doesn’t mean every instructor is prepared to teach nor every student ready to learn. According to a survey completed by Educause (2017) only 9% of academics prefer to be online instructors, while 91% don’t. This is an alarming statistic which means that the overwhelming majority of faculty who are now expected to use online delivery as their main platform are missing opportunities to engage and motivate students to become successful learners.
Instructors must be ready to take the lead in humanizing the classroom experience and design multiple approaches for personalizing their interaction with their students to create a rewarding experience for all. In this presentation, Professors Walton and Gough will share 9 ½ ways they are engaging students in their classes.
