Building an online community using Canvas is a low maintenance way to connect program administrators to students in classrooms. While basic needs can be fulfilled, like sending out announcements, we will also discuss strategies on how to build in engaging tools like an online orientation, job board, and workforce advocacy resources. In the North Seattle College Early Childhood Education program, we've used the Early Childhood Education Community Resources page as a key tool to build efficiency in communications to connect with a 'non-traditional' student population that works full time in the field and primarily only comes to campus for evening courses.
Using the research of psychology, this presentation will inform you how I made my reading assignments into engaging, affordable and more interesting assignments that students do not feel overwhelm to complete in the flipped, hybrid classroom setting.
Making STEM content accessible is not something most faculty and instructors have been taught. As a result, many are unconsciously creating barriers in courses for learners with diverse needs, including students with disabilities. This presentation will highlight the main barriers in STEM content, and what faculty and instructors can do about them. This will lead to a conversation about what campuses need to start doing to ensure an equitable, usable learning environment with specific focus regarding STEM content. Lastly, an update will be provided regarding how Ally is planning to address this problem.
