Course Success Series: Fostering Community & Student Interaction

Register

Building community in your course carries benefits that far exceed time and energy that it involves. Learning in any format is more engaging when steps are taken to make the experience more collaborative and social, rather than competitive or isolated. In this session, instructors will develop strategies for establishing and sustaining a community. Review these resources prior to the session: https://coursesuccess.wisc.edu/4-student-student-interaction4-3/.

2. Select strategies for ongoing collaborative learning and student interaction.
3. Develop a plan for “closing” a classroom community at the end of the term.
4. Reflect on and apply lessons learned from remote instruction.

This workshop is part of the center’s Course Success Series.
