This session will focus on how the Community of Inquiry (COI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) frameworks can intersect to support engaging learners with the curriculum and with each other. We will discuss pedagogical strategies attached to COI and UDL to create and maintain a positive learning climate. This climate – one that is authentic, intellectually challenging, motivating, and promotes a sense of purpose and belonging – sets the scaffolding upon which students can master the subject matter while also building their skills as life-long, expert learners.

This was a 2024 Picnic PD (Professional Development) with BSPH CTL summer series workshop. Human beings crave a sense of belonging and a desire to feel like an accepted member of a group. Fostering this type of welcoming learning environment is important as it allows students to feel emotionally connected and highly motivated to engage on a deeper level with course content. However, creating this type of environment can be especially difficult when teaching an online class. This workshop recording goes over teaching strategies for online courses that build a feeling of community which allows students to engage with course material in a meaningful way. You’ll walk away from this workshop recording with tangible artifacts to transform the learning environment of online classes from disengagement to a place of social belonging.
