Free Webinar: Building Instructional Immediacy in the Online Classroom
April 25, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Hosted by NISOD
Monday, April 25, 2022 – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
As colleges rapidly deployed online instruction in the wake of the pandemic, instructors struggled to connect meaningfully with students. Traditional methods of instruction, we learned, are not always transferable to the online classroom. Immediacy, however, is one approach that works well in-person and online. Immediacy is about shortening the distance between teacher and student through clear communication, approachability, and a sense of community. Participants learn how to build authenticity in the digital classroom with instructional immediacy.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participants learn six ways to create an online class that fosters instructional immediacy.
- Participants evaluate what is working in their online courses and what is not.
- Participants develop strategies to work with their IT department and/or instructional designer to create effective tools and technology to foster immediacy.
