His PhD is in computer science from the University of Kansas.
After earning her Ph.D. (2003) in agricultural, environmental and development (AED) economics from The Ohio State University, Grace taught economics and business statistics at fully online universities for 15 years. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Economics at Georgia Gwinnett College. She has published papers and presented at conferences and workshops relating to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Her articles highlight core concepts of innovative use of technology in the teaching of economics and business statistics. She has led several faculty learning communities with themes such as Flipped Learning and Growth Mindsets.
Ingrid is the Executive Director of Achieving Academic Success, a nonprofit organization that works with teens and young adults to develop them as master learners, and help them discover their life visions. She engages students in online and face-to-face learning environments grounded in Process Education principles. Her continuous goal is to empower learners to take ownership of their learning and lives, to grow, and to develop as self-growers.
Why?
There is a gap between traditional face-to-face instruction and asynchronous online instruction that requires mindful attention to motivation, active participation, and commitment to learning ownership. Further, communication that happens implicitly in face-to-face learning must be explicitly done in asynchronous environments.
This workshop co-creates ways to apply Cuseo’s Seven Principles of Learning and Retention in an online environment. Facilitators share their online experiences with participants as they work together to generate ready-to-use approaches for asynchronous learning.
Learning Objectives
- Adjust for teaching and learning differences between in-person, hybrid, synchronous online, and asynchronous online to improve engagement.
- Share and evaluate strategies for Elevating Motivation & Commitment in an asynchronous online environment.
- Strategies for Active Learning in an asynchronous online environment.
