Description
The next generation of students (Gen Z) enter a time of uncertainty, debt, unstable leadership. They have lived through (as children) the great recession, terror on TV, and weather crises. From an adaptive standpoint, social scientists believe these experiences to have shaped Gen Z students' values and perceptions as they enter our college classrooms. This interactive presentation equips educators with evidence-based practices to win at the online teaching game through employing experiential learning opportunities. Salient research, a brief literature update, and applicable examples will be provided to spark your creative genius. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own online courses throughout the presentation. Your presenter will also share their course adaptation journey from knowledge-based online courses to evidence-based learning. Using Bloom's taxonomy of learning and other applicable theory as a guide, your presenter will outline the "step-up" and "spiderweb" learning models. A "backward" design method is also discussed for syllabi creation.
