"Unfortunately, online classes have a reputation for being dry, boring, and unengaging. Both faculty and students struggle to create and participate in highly interactive online learning experiences, which in turn negatively impacts engagement and motivation to persevere for all involved. Emotion science offers a powerful tool to address this challenge.

This online seminar will examine the research on how emotion and cognition are linked and how emotions impact our online teaching and learning experiences, based on the Community of Inquiry framework. You’ll also explore ways in which emotions are powerfully interrelated to cognitive processes such as attention, motivation, and memory. These insights, along with the strategies involved, will better allow you to increase online student engagement, learning, persistence, and success in your classroom."
 

Purpose of the APD opportunity:

Emotions are strongly linked to how we pay attention, focus, engage, remember, and learn. This online seminar will present practical strategies for putting the power of emotions to work in online classes to help capture and hold students’ attention, better engage students in their learning, and ultimately help them persist and succeed.
 

Outcomes of the APD opportunity:

At the end of this workshop, the participants should be able to:

• Discuss the main principles of emotion science;
• Identify ways in which emotions can positively impact student engagement and learning;
• Describe findings from the research on neuroscience and the Community of Inquiry framework;
• Apply practical strategies based in emotion science to increase online student engagement, persistence, and success.

Expectations/ Requirements:
