Teaching Forums
The Office of Distance Education invites you to attend virtual Teaching Forums each semester, featuring panels or individual presenters including faculty, staff, associated faculty, and other experts, who facilitate discussions on key topics in teaching and learning, course design, instructional delivery, assessment strategies, and more. These forums are designed to foster a community of education professionals and provide a space for meaningful dialogue, reflection, and knowledge-sharing.
Each session lasts approximately one hour. All are welcome to attend!

Both teaching and learning in today’s dynamic world can be challenging. In this session, The Power of Practicing Compassionate Pedagogy, Michelle will help participants explore what compassionate pedagogy is (and is not), why compassion is so important, and how even small acts of compassion in our approach to teaching can make a big difference—for instructors and students alike. Michelle will incorporate instructional scenarios in this session to help participants apply the principles of compassionate pedagogy in realistic contexts.
