Session Info:
While practical issues of digital education are being improved, many universities and their teaching staff are realizing personalization and flexibility are essential for lasting student engagement in face-to-face, online, and hybrid courses, both synchronously and asynchronously. Technology-enhanced personalized learning journeys enable institutions and instructors to address the diverse needs of their students and provide them with the individual support crucial for their academic and professional success. This is especially important for community colleges that offer full vocational preparations, as each course and departments have different needs and requirements, but becomes challenging to implement, especially in asynchronous settings. How can we leverage technology to create lasting asynchronous engagement? Join our session to discover how California educators are working to cultivate personalized learning to boost student engagement in diverse course contexts.
Session Outcomes:
- Boost interactivity in asynchronous settings.
- Cultivate an inclusive, flexible learning experience.
- Leverage collaborative learning for academic and professional student success.
