At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a shift to remote learning. As society transitions back to in-person activities, students have returned to in-person classes. Faculty report/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0students are struggling to form connections with each other, mindfully attend to class content, and are unable or unwilling to participate in class discussions./cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/n

Building a community within your course is often essential to having students meaningfully engage with their classmates and the course as a whole.

“Third place” refers to a public neutral place or location that allows people to gather for the purposes of sharing interests and knowledge, engaging in cultural exchanges, and forming community connections with others./cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0 We can utilize these concepts to build a community within your course for higher student engagement and success. These strategies are effective in multiple modalities, including:/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0 In-person,/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0HyFlex/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0and online courses./cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0

This discussion will build a resource document on specific ways these strategies can apply to your course and discipline in particular./cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/u00a0/cetll/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/11831/n
