Engaging the Learner in Graduate Education: Teaching Highly Participative Courses Online

Abstract

The proliferation of online learning challenges educators when creating highly participative courses. Two courses have presented particular challenges: Negotiations and Creativity in Business. After years of developing and executing these courses, I have cultivated strategies that have enriched learner experience. These include selecting secondary software to support pedagogical goals, adopting exercises that deliver a clear lesson, and clarifying expectations through the use of a rubric. The courses are demanding as students participate in numerous activities, share work and offer feedback to one another, and complete traditional examinations. Both informal and formal feedback demonstrates the effectiveness of these strategies.
