Use tactics to break up the monotony of lectures, decrease “Zoom fatigue,” and encourage community development both between the instructor and students and the students with one another.
The session will be facilitated by Jason Slipp, Instructional Designer within the CITL, Farah Vallera (Professor of Practice in Instructional Design and Instructional Technology - COE) and Shannon Varcoe 15, 16G. With the help of the facilitators, participants will reimagine their virtual sessions using various forms of play, creativity, and other research-backed design considerations that foster engagement and a sense of community in virtual spaces.

Please join us for a panel of CITL staff and students within our TRAC program for an in-depth conversation on the impact and promise of peer learning at Lehigh.

Given the recent disruption of COVID-19, creating a tight-knit learning community among students and faculty is more important than ever. The panel of undergraduate and graduate TRAC Fellows will discuss their experiences utilizing the peer learning model and how well-established methods can be adopted across the curriculum to increase student engagement, especially as teaching and learning become increasingly distributed.
This session will be highly interactive and both faculty and students are invited to hear from the expert panel and share their own experiences with peer learning.
