Using self-efficacy strategies to promote student success and build community
2021 First Generation Initiative Speaker Series
Thank you for joining us for this workshop on April 1st!
Distance learners struggle with motivation, time management, and engagement, all of which can be improved by implementing activities that promote self-efficacy. Self-efficacy strategies work to create inclusive spaces by providing opportunities for engagement and connection, which research tells us are critically important for students to succeed as distance learners.
This workshop, designed for instructors of discussion-based, distance learning courses, explored student self-efficacy and in-class exercises you can integrate into your remote courses to build self-efficacy. During the workshop, Lindsay shared teaching materials that she has been using successfully to build community and promote student self-efficacy in remote learning environments this year.
