National Distance Learning Week 2022: Online Learning Myths

Lunchtime Series: Candid Conversations about Online Learning

Location

Online

Date & Time

November 9, 2022, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Description

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • The quality of online course design is not comparable to in-person.
  • Online students feel more disengaged in their learning and support.
  • Online courses do not have the same academic rigor as in-person.
  • UMBC cannot, or should not, expand online learning.
Join our final Candid Conversation as faculty, staff, and students share how they have countered myths surrounding online learning and the student experience. As we move beyond the pandemic and consider the role online/hybrid courses may have, our panelists will offer lessons learned in designing meaningful online learning experiences. They will also share how intentional, evidence-based best practices can enhance online student support.

This session is part of the Instructional Technology Candid Conversations About Online Learning series, launched during the 15th anniversary of National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) from November 7-11, 2022.
