In the following videos, CTE undergraduate student consultants share their experiences at UVA, learning in Spring 2020, and when instructors have utilized their perspectives and expertise to improve a course. The hope is that instructors will work to build connections with students, solicit student input to make their courses better, and engage them as co-creators of their learning experiences—all of which are especially important in an online environment.
Creating Well-Paced, Socially Connected Courses is a self-guided workshop created by the CTE and colleagues. It is designed to be a compact remote learning experience that addresses common barriers for instructors who are accustomed to in-person teaching. Any instructor, including graduate students, can do the workshop, but it will especially benefit those who are transitioning their courses online. You will watch videos, respond to reflection questions, engage in a multimedia presentation, complete a worksheet, and be directed to additional resources.
