OFD Webinar: Creating Community in Hybrid and Online Courses

Students, especially first and second year students, are very influenced by their classroom environments; students and faculty alike may feel disconnected in today’s socially distanced classrooms. While online environments are certainly different from face-to-face environments, there are many ways to create a sense of community in hybrid classes that match, or even exceeds, traditional face-to-face class engagement. During this webinar we will explore how to bridge that divide to develop a positive and supportive learning environment that will allow all learners to succeed.
