Presented by Michelle Pacansky-Brock
Humanizing fosters instructor-student and student-student relationships and community by intentionally supporting the non-cognitive components of learning through presence, empathy, and awareness. Humanized online teaching is essential to providing an equitable learning experience for all students, as it removes the psychological barriers that marginalized students experience in college and can be exacerbated when they learn at a distance. You will receive practical tips for humanizing your online course that will also help you feel more at ease.

Join Michelle Pacansky-Brock for a mindful consideration about why presence, empathy, and awareness matter even more in times of disruption. And pick up some tips for minimizing stress through human connections in your course.
