The Keynote Address will be entitled: Humanizing Online Teaching: Leveraging Relationships to Fuel Engagement & Rigor
To navigate through these unknown and traumatic times, educators must be knowledgeable about how learning happens (and why it often does not). Recognizing the role of emotions in learning illuminates the critical need to foster a connection with students at a distance. This presentation will explore techniques to get to know the rich stories of your students, ensure they feel seen and valued, and foster positive relationships asynchronously. Humanized online teaching employs push and care to foster rigor through empathy and ensures all students have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Mike Caulfield is the director of blended and networked learning at Washington State University, Vancouver (WSU).

His work includes preparing students for research through accessible skills to validate facts in our information-saturated, online world. This effort includes his openly published curriculum on “Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers.” Consequently, Mike has been described as one of “a few genuinely original people doing important and critically consequential work” in the field of educational technology.
