Keynote Speaker, Michelle Pacansky-Brock
Michelle’s work has helped online instructors across the nation understand how to craft relevant, humanized online learning experiences that support the diverse needs of college students. In her current role as Faculty Mentor for the California Community Colleges CVC-OEI/@ONE, she coordinates professional development in support of quality online teaching and learning and is leading an intersegmental California Learning Lab grant project that will examine the impact of humanized online instruction on diverse students in undergraduate online STEM courses in California.
The Keynote Address will be entitled: Humanizing Online Teaching: Leveraging Relationships to Fuel Engagement & Rigor
To navigate through these unknown and traumatic times, educators must be knowledgeable about how learning happens (and why it often does not). Recognizing the role of emotions in learning illuminates the critical need to foster a connection with students at a distance. This presentation will explore techniques to get to know the rich stories of your students, ensure they feel seen and valued, and foster positive relationships asynchronously. Humanized online teaching employs push and care to foster rigor through empathy and ensures all students have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
