Reimagining the Online Classroom: Six Course Activities to Foster a Transformative Learning Community
Description
This session will present the lessons learned in our learning circle on transformative learning environments. Transformative learning is in essence being open to "otherness" and withholding judgment to bridge and understand our differences to ultimately transform our perspectives. Transformative learning begins with critical reflection and dialogue. Transformative learning principles shift from just presenting information to building authentic learning experiences into the design and delivery of online teaching and learning. In this session, we will share strategies we have learned and lessons coming in our own online classrooms to foster a community where students can experience transformative learning activities through reflection and dialogue in the online space. Presenters from multiple disciplines will give examples of transformative learning experiences, including trying on new roles, reflection, projection, student research, and other practices.
