For decades, distance learning has created opportunities for learners of all ages to increase their knowledge and gain access to learning experience that previously weren’t available.

 

However, while students often praise the flexibility of distance learning, they also comment on the isolation, disconnection and disengagement that can sometimes occur when we are not engaging face-to-face.

 

New tools and technologies can help, but only the teacher can create a sense of community and belonging. We can and must take distance learning a step further and provide a human connection across all the learning modalities inside and outside of the classroom.

 

Join the conversation about the future transformation of education that combines the greatest technology tools with the most imperative element, human connection.

Let’s work together to close the “distance” in distance learning so each student feels seen, heard, valued and essential.

Together we will:

  • Unpack the psychology of communication, collaboration, and trust

  • Understand the cornerstones of “distance-reducing” instruction

  • Explore the Essential Ingredients for Engagement with a proven model for injecting life back into your remote courses and gathering

  • Share tips and tools for you can implement immediately to increase the level of contribution and engagement in your group

  • Experience first hand activities that help build a remote classroom that is connected, bonded and most importantly working together.

This interactive session is for all educators, facilitators, trainers and coaches who are encouraged to please ruthlessly steal and reinterpret all the techniques and strategies we will explore together.
