MED 7820 Engaging All Student in Virtual Learning Environments

Effective online instruction depends on learning experiences that are purposefully designed and facilitated by knowledgeable educators. Because learners have different learning styles or a combination of styles, educators should design virtual learning spaces that include multiple modes of learning.  Educators previously unfamiliar, or under-familiar, with virtual teaching environments will learn how these environments work and how they can be used to successfully promote active learning for all learners.  This course provides strategies that combine active learning principles with online tools so all students can encounter and engage with information and ideas, and reflect on their own learning.
