Know How

When teaching online, many instructors are provided with a master course that contains the learning materials, discussion forums, assignments, and assessments. With more higher education institutions opting to offer master course shells, it can be difficult for instructors to know how to incorporate their personality, experiences, and insights into a pre-designed course. Faculty who teach online may be searching for ideas on how to personalize their master course and increase student engagement. Many faculty express concerns about students who are disconnected. Personalization of master courses increases student engagement while allowing students and instructors to feel more connected during the course. The authors will explore best practices to increase student engagement and provide a framework to implement these strategies that assist online instructors in demonstrating their personalities and expertise in master courses.

The Impact

Student engagement and embracing students with accommodations have long been at the forefront of developing future teachers. Assessing the effects of COVID-19 and the long-term implications shifted the overall perception of how the world is redefining teacher education programs and preparing teachers to move forward. One could presume the impact of COVID-19 will be discussed in history classes forever as the pandemic reconfigured learning styles, structures, and supports. Student engagement and supporting students with accommodations explore multiple modalities for best practices in the classroom and encourage students with disabilities and learning differences to be successful. The authors examine best practices for in-person, hybrid, and remote learning environments: Bloom's taxonomy, universal design for learning, and formative assessment. The chapter provides examples of each resource and delves into classroom engagement and accommodations.

This study has been presented in order to share information as to how educational leaders can promote a greater opportunity for student engagement remotely during the COVID-19 crisis.  Adjusting in more ways than one during COVID-19 has been challenging for many students and faculty members at universities globally.  The leader sets the tone while working and sharing with faculty members ways to  engage students at an adequate level to continue student learning experiences remotely.  Adaptability and adjustments that most students and faculty members are making during this crisis have been notable by families and community leaders.   With educational leaders taking the lead, the major emphasis for this study was to focus on best practices for engaging students in the most productive ways during the COVID-19 crisis.

Self Discovery

Mason instructional faculty have the opportunity to use a Gallup self-discovery assessment, StrengthsFinder, free to Mason faculty, staff and students, that has been proven to enhance student engagement in and outside the classroom (Lopez, S. J., & Louis, M. C., 2009).  The strengths-based educational approach and applications can be applied universally across all disciplines and fields, enhancing students’ learning and engagement.  Once a student understands their top 5 talents, instructors can create and use a wide variety of activities and assignments to engage the students in reflective learning.  This interactive session will feature best practices using strengths-based approaches and the StrengthsFinder assessment from instructional faculty in various academic colleges.  Participants will explore the various ways they can integrate strengths in academic courses.
