Do your virtual class sessions or team meetings need a jolt of engagement? Do you get the sense that participants enter a zoom session only to turn their camera off and go about doing other work? Do you want to encourage your students to take ownership of their learning, even in the Zoom room?In this CITL workshop, we will pass along novel activities and solutions to make your virtual classes and meetings more engaging, exciting, and memorable. 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.

Presenters: Jason Slipp
Audience: Faculty, Staff, Students
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. The TRAC program has spent over a decade moulding an effective peer learning ecosystem that has created tighter connections between students and their learning.
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.
