Abstract: 

Research shows that e-Learning can make education more accessible, affordable, and engaging. But how can we ensure all students - particularly in STEM disciplines - receive the support needed to develop the skills necessary to be successful today? Come learn how to apply Next Gen Learning principles to create effective e-Learning environments.

 
Extended Abstract: 

Higher ed institutions, faculty, and students have enormous interest in e-Learning. Studies have shown that more than 80% of institutions offers at least several courses online. The rise of non-traditional classroom environments--distance learning, online learning, e-Learning, and the like--has done a lot to make education more accessible, affordable, flexible, and engaging for students.

However, making certain that students receive the proper supports and tools to learn necessary skills in an e-Learning environment is a concern for many teachers. Specifically, STEM courses require experimentation to help students develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. In these courses, students must learn and use math repetitions and science skills that typically require hands-on, collaborative activities.

So, how do we overcome the challenges of teaching tactile engagement skills to e-learners?

This presentation explores the best practices for creating engaging e-Learning environments. Come learn how to incorporate Next Gen learning tools, data, and interactive activities into your teaching and learning experiences to create successful e-Learning experiences that help your students build necessary 21st century skills.
