Asynchronous course delivery affords a degree of flexibility on when and for how long students can engage with course materials to support their learning. Asynchronous discussions have the potential to engage students in discourse over time as everyone can participate can be more democratic than same time discussions where time limits can prevent participation. Therefore, well planned asynchronous activity has the potential to support accessibility and inclusion within your course. The flexibility which asynchronous content provides your students can also present challenges for their engagement and learning. When working to their own schedule learners miss the steady pace of synchronous activity and may disengage, fall behind or feel less connected to their peers.
This webinar will focus on key strategies by which to optimize and structure asynchronous activity to support rich, engaging and active learning. Included in the topics covered are the following:
• Key lessons from learning science
• Planning and sequencing activity
• Supporting learning through transparency and accountability
• Assessment and feedback
This session will feature an active component and provide an opportunity for participants to share experiences, insights and challenges. If format or timing does not suit, consider instead a one-on-one consultation with Paul Maher.
