Text CITL Intro to Module 4: Engagement in Community

Your Learning Community

The key to successful hybrid learning experiences is to provide engaging learning activities and an environment that fosters community. This involves careful attention to the course components that build in-class and online relationships, and the activities that students work on alone and in groups. In a flipped hybrid course we need to consider all the ways that in-class and online learning will happen, and develop strategies to foster the critical dynamics between you and your students, and your students and each other. This module will give you some ideas to consider as you begin building your hybrid classroom learning community.

In this module, we focus on community and student engagement, including:

A 3-part model for nurturing an effective course learning community
Easy in-class activities to increase student participation and engagement with course content
Ideas for digital tools to support synchronous and asynchronous learning
Frequently asked questions about managing and supporting student learning communities
