Students' learning is enhanced when they connect with their instructors — and their classmates. Creating this community looks different in an online classroom, but there is now good evidence on how to go about it.

Join The Chronicle's Beckie Supiano, who helps write our weekly Teaching Newsletter, and a panel of experts on December 17, 2-3pm (ET) for an Virtual Forum, "Building Community in Online Classes." During this forum, we'll cover:

  • Tactics tried by other universities
  • What's worked well, and not so well
  • Actionable strategies for building community in online courses

Whether you're moving a course online for the first time, fine tuning your approach, or an administrator who wants to fuel this work, this session will have something for you.
