Research shows that students with a strong sense of belonging are more likely to deeply engage in class, succeed academically, and persist to graduation. Join us for conversation with Eric Knackmuhs about his research into his students’ sense of belonging. He’ll share descriptive data from the past 2-years of classes that provide insight into which elements of sense of belonging students rate most highly. Eric will also share strategies he has used to increase his students’ sense of belonging. We’ll close the with an opportunity for all participants to share their own approaches and learn from each other.

Accessible course materials and Blackboard course sites benefit everyone. They improve learning outcomes for all students while reducing your workload.  Accessible course materials make content easier to understand, update, and reuse. Building accessibility in from the start is ideal, but updating course materials and Blackboard to be more accessible is easier now than ever before. Join us to learn some simple accessibility strategies that will make huge differences in your Blackboard course sites, course documents and materials, and videos.
