Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in BC, Dr. Bonnie Henry has been encouraging us all to “Be Kind.” Within our own Faculty of Education, Dean Frank has reminded us to focus on our mental and physical health, recognizing the unusual challenges we’re currently facing. How can we build a culture of kindness and caring that supports faculty and student wellbeing without sacrificing our high standards and quality education? In this session Dr. Roberta Neault, one of the faculty mentors supporting our transition to e-learning, and Parm Gill, a Learning Designer with Educational Technology Support (ETS) share tips and strategies for creating e-learning environments that are welcoming, engaging, compassionate, and flexible enough to accommodate the diverse strengths and needs of our learners and faculty.
