In online teaching, showcasing who you are as an instructor is critical for personalizing the online learning experience and for building relationships with students in a virtual environment. Sharing about yourself can also help provide a transition between asynchronous and synchronous learning experiences for students. In this session, Robyn Pitman (Lecturer, Department of Sociology) will be demonstrating how instructors can do this using pre-recorded materials for asynchronous learning and how to connect them to course materials. Participants will be given concrete ideas about how to personalize their courses using examples from two courses in Summer Term 2. Examples include including music, videos from pop culture, personal photos and disclosures, and course trailers to name a few.
