The Online Course Design Rubric Series, Section A: Presenting Your Course Content Online

What are the key characteristics of a well-designed online course?

Humanized online teaching practices support the non-cognitive or affective dimensions of student learning. Many students who enroll in online courses, particularly those from minoritized backgrounds, do not successfully log in and complete the first week successfully. Weeks 0-1 comprise a high opportunity zone for increasing the percentage of students who succeed online.

In this session, Fabiola and Michelle will share examples of humanized practices from their online courses that use Google Sites to create a Liquid Syllabus and a Welcome Package for students. Sent before day one, (or embedded in online campus directories) students tap the link and are instantly taken to an accessible webpage that renders beautifully on their phone. By embedding a brief video of yourself at the top of the page, your students will be greeted by your warm, smiling face and feel supported to log-in and be successful in week one.

Presenters:

Fabiola Torres, Ethnic Studies Faculty at Glendale College and CVC-OEI/@ONE facilitator
Michelle Pacansky-Brock, Faculty Mentor, Online Teaching & Learning for CVC-OEI

“To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.”  bell hooks - Teaching to Transgress

As more students learn online in a time of uncertainty and peril, educators must intentionally craft learning experiences at a distance that foster trust, belonging, and a sense of care. In this OLC Ideate panel session, you will engage in a mindful consideration of several humanizing strategies to ensure students feel a sense of care in online courses, including ways in which care can enhance agency, promote social justice and critique weaponization of care.

This event is part of the virtual OLC Ideate program. Free registration is required. Archives will be made available to OLC members.

In this OLC Ideate Discussion Salon, participants will be introduced to the principles (and some examples) of Humanizing Online Teaching, a theoretical framework that fosters equity and inclusion by bringing together Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, Social Presence, Validation Theory and more. Participants will have an opportunity to break into small groups and discuss/share ideas to integrate into their own practice as a way to build empathy and connection with students.
