2021 Peralta Online Equity Conference

SESSION 8: Humanizing Pre-Course Contact With a Liquid Syllabus - Michelle Pacansky-Brock | @ONE/CVC-OEI

Description: Humanized online teaching is informed by equity-driven research and learning science that focuses on fostering positive instructor-student relationships as the foundation for academic success. In a humanized online course, relationships are leveraged as motivational fuel, inspiring rigor through empathy. Weeks 0-1 are a high opportunity zone for humanizing your online class! A Liquid Syllabus – a public, mobile-friendly, welcoming webpage topped by a brief, imperfect welcome video – is a humanizing element that serves as a kindness cue of social inclusion before an online course begins. It positions you as a partner in your students' learning, diversity as an asset, and demystifies how to be successful. In this session, Michelle will unpack this topic and prepare you to create your own Liquid Syllabus.
