We’d rather be at the beach: Engaging summer students in-person and on zoom Online
Are your students staring blankly at you? Do they seem uninterested in participating in class and dreaming of being on the beach? Online pandemic education has increased student passivity, anxiety and discomfort with active, engaged learning. In this session we will share experiences and discuss how to move forward with special attention to summer courses.
