Expert Q&A’s: Equity-First Instruction
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2020 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
In the wake of the COVID-19-propelled public health crisis, technology presents a huge opportunity to engage the learner through the virtual classroom. However, online education also brings a host of equity and access concerns, misconceptions around the learner’s technology abilities, opportunity gaps and unique challenges for specific learner populations. Utilizing an equity framework, this 30-minute open Q&A session offers strategies and recommendations for creating an equity-minded environment and other high-impact practices in course design and online classroom practices that are welcoming, supportive, and learner-centered.
