Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has increased visibility of online teaching and the need for best practices as faculty from all levels and across all academic fields have moved to online and hybrid environments. Giving students agency and providing instructor presence while avoiding burnout is an interdisciplinary concern. In this discussion we’ll talk about developing best practices to support students in becoming active participants in their own learning and provide instructor presence without unduly burdening the teacher. This approach combines Facilitative Learning and a Constructivist approach to teaching and learning, with the practical outcome of increasing students’ self-efficacy. Participants will leave with new approaches to interacting with and supporting their students.
