2013 Faculty Symposium
Faculty Engagement Strategies in Online Education
Jonathan A. Agresta, M.Ed.
Description:
According to research, online higher education enrollment has outpaced overall higher education enrollment 5:1 over the last decade. Because of this, faculty are forced to transition traditional onsite courses into an online environment with very little training, thus causing lower engagement than traditional courses. In this round table discussion, faculty from across DeVry University will discuss the various techniques used to increase the level of engagement and retention in online courses. Ideas will be introduced from outside institutions, as well as introducing third-party technologies that can be incorporated both in-and-out of the DeVry system.

Notes:
- It is important to condition students using reminders and detailed instructions.
- You can record your actions on Smartboards (if available) and use that to help instruct online.
- Adobe Connect is now available to all faculty, check with your Associate Dean about obtaining an account.
- Find or create a place (HUB, Sidebar) where faculty teaching the same course can communicate about what works and what doesn’t work.
