Engaging Remote Students – Don’t worry about their cameras!, Friday March 26, 12:00 noon

How do you know whether your students are engaged in learning during your synchronous online classes? Can you tell from their cameras? When your students leave their cameras off, does this make it difficult to feel connected to them? Do you wonder why your students leave their cameras off? In this workshop, we’ll examine why students may be unwilling or unable to use a web camera during your classes and discuss alternative ways of maintaining active engagement with your students.
