Speed01-Shift Happens: Cultivating Student Success in Online Performance and Experience-Based Courses

In March of 2020, many performance and experience-based courses were abruptly shifted online for many of us in the NU system and at many universities around the world. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, students in these communities of practice flourished because of the informal interactions with their peers, in-person instruction from faculty and focused learning spaces on campus. While we cannot quite return to the pre-pandemic instructional learning communities where Brady Bunch boxes and dark screens do not exist, we can set our students up for success in this time of online learning by addressing their social -emotional needs and offering a variety of on-ramps to engage in learning. Performance and experience-based courses in the online space will never be equal to the in-person experiences we were used to building but you don’t have to be muted by the challenge of shifting online. This session will help you find success in your online performance and experience-based course with adaptable, synchronous and asynchronous learning activities for use in online courses.
