Description

While the arrival of remote and hybrid learning has opened several doors in education, it has also introduced a few obstacles. One of those being, "How to hold a conversation when people are not physically present?"

At UW-Madison, we have access to two powerful tools -- Canvas Discussions, and Piazza -- that can help overcome some of these barriers.

In this 30-minute session, Dr. McKay draws upon personal, first-hand experience of using these two discussion platforms in a Canvas course. You will learn several strategies and best practices for holding healthy, inclusive and dynamic conversations in the modern classroom.

No registration necessary.
