Date: 2022-05-04

As educators, we care about our students. But how do we translate that caring into active support within an online course? For a post-AB705 landscape, in transfer-level English and Math classes, a powerful strategy is to explicitly address the affective domain—that is, making students feel seen, heard, and respected, and foregrounding their cultures and diverse experiences through targeted activities. This sort of support, used within corequisite courses and other models, has been proven to help students persist and succeed in transfer-level classes for which they were previously deemed "unprepared."
 
In this webinar, get concrete ideas for multidisciplinary online activities that address the affective domain —and share your own ideas!
