Empowering Students to Access Supports in Asynchronous Delivery
Start Date

Description
This session will report the results of a survey administered to undergraduate students enrolled in a two-year certification program who had completed 16 credits in synchronous and seven credits in asynchronous coursework. They responded to the survey following an asynchronous 7-week summer course. The course has seven modules; students complete one module/week. Once they finish a module, the next opens and they can continue to move through the modules. The purpose of the survey was to ascertain student preference for the types of content delivery in the course. Each module contained short PPT narrations with embedded response opportunities (e.g., multiple answer, true/false), text-based material, video clips, and online content modules. Evaluation of student learning was contained in quizzes, essay responses on the content, and application activities. The survey asked students to respond to their preferences for the different modes of content delivery as well as to report the length of time spent and the optimal amount of time they would prefer to spend in each type of format. The presenters will share the results of the survey and explain effective ways to use the tools included in Canvas and external tools that can be integrated into Canvas to support students.
