Description

Engaging live sessions in online classes don’t just happen. They’re intentionally designed! By the completion of this 2-week course, you will demonstrate your ability to schedule, conduct, archive, and share a live session. You will also develop inclusive community norms and a lesson plan for a live session that uses effective instructional skills to support the diverse needs of community college students. You will achieve these goals by asynchronously engaging with content and completing assignments in Canvas, as well as attending synchronous sessions in Zoom that scaffold your learning.

Attendance at four 60-minute live sessions is required in addition to course assignments. The dates of these sessions are listed on the registration page.

Prerequisite:  This is NOT an introduction to Zoom or Canvas. To participate in this course, you will need a ConferZoom* account prior to the start date. A ConferZoom account is an upgraded Zoom account that is provided by TechConnect for California Community College faculty and staff. If you do not already have a ConferZoom account, sign up now using your institutional email address. TechConnect will notify you by email when your account has been processed.
