Facilitating Online Discussions in Both Synchronous and Asynchronous Environments
July 15, 2020Are you tired of teaching into the online void or struggling to get students interacting in discussions online? Have students expressed to you that they consider discussions “busy work” or do the bare minimum without engaging or developing a sense of community? Designing effective online discussions can be challenging and just at the moment we may not have a lot of time to dedicate to thorough design. This online webinar will explore best practices in designing asynchronous and synchronous class discussions in the online environment. Participants will receive step-by-step instructions for a low-tech simple yet effective model for creating engaging asynchronous discussions, examine how to transition a variety of engaging in-person classroom discussion techniques to the synchronous online environment, take away example engaging discussion prompts, and have the opportunity for active personal reflection on past success with creating engaging online discussions.

Spring 2019 Regional Corequisite Academies
April 2019University of North Georgia (April 5) & Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College (April 12)
For Spring 2019, the University System of Georgia is hosting Spring Corequisite Academies in two regional sites to facilitate broader faculty participation and reduce the distance teams will need to travel to participate. Both Academies will feature similar programming and opportunities for interaction with peers. Participants are welcome to participate in either (or both) academies, but total participation is capped at 75 for each academy and you are encouraged to choose the location closest to you.
Building on the experience and successes of the past year, the Summit will provide institutional teams with an opportunity to reflect upon their Momentum Year plans and the work they have accomplished to date and identify what remains to be done in order to fully implement a Momentum Year on their campuses by Fall 2019. Additionally, the Summit is an opportunity for institutions to think more deeply about how the Momentum Year integrates across the breadth of a student’s experience in college. Participants will work through a series of engaging and creative exercises to develop personal plans for action that will inform campus-wide implementation plans.
