Teaching and learning in an online environment presents unique challenges. How can instructors effectively engage students and create a sense of presence in a virtual classroom? We are delighted to announce our upcoming webinar, "Creating a Sense of Presence for Online Learning," facilitated by Simone Conceição and Karen Skibba.

Join us on September 8, 2023, 3:30-5:00 pm CST via Zoom to discover how you can create a vibrant online learning experience.

Understanding the Social Nature of Online Learning

Online learning doesn't have to be isolating and detached. In fact, it can be a highly social experience when designed effectively. During this webinar, Simone Conceição and Karen Skibba will delve into the importance of creating a sense of presence throughout an online course. They will share evidence-based strategies that allow instructors to foster meaningful connections and interactions among students, as well as with the instructor, ultimately leading to a more engaging and enhanced virtual learning environment.

Exploring the Sense of Presence Framework

One of the highlights of this webinar is the introduction of a framework that enables instructors to determine the level of presence in their online courses. This framework provides a comprehensive approach to evaluating and enhancing the social aspects of virtual learning.
