Live Zoom Session June 3rd at 12 PM CST - Link: https://zoom.us/j/97305082274?pwd=c0xLdkJVUGpnMk5DUnk0UGZydWE0Zz09 As demand for online higher education expands, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where diverse learners thrive is an essential first step to inclusion. In this interactive workshop, an online doctoral educator and an academic program director explore scenarios based in real-world examples to provide an inclusive framework for online higher education settings. The recent global pandemic has expanded distance education without increasing professional development around best practices for inclusion online. For international multilingual students and new citizens, online educational opportunities represent a powerful academic modality that transcends location.
