Jaime Wood, Program Manager for Educational Initiatives
When teaching a fully online, asynchronous course, building a sense of community with students can be challenging. In this workshop, facilitator Jaime Wood-Riley will highlight five ways you can create community with your students before the course even begins. Bring your questions, ideas, and experiences to share with others.
