Session Description
Caring is key to being respectful and inclusive of diverse students in all learning environments, whether in person or online. During the current COVID-19 crisis, we have found ourselves having to move courses that have always been delivered in person to online platforms. To continue our respectful practices as we quickly move into online platforms, we need to take into account the new challenges faced by both faculty and students.
We will share our experience during the Spring 2020 with the Interprofessional Foundations course, which is a course at OHSU with over 700 students and facilitated by over 100 faculty. We will reflect on diversity and inclusive principles and the concept of caring in education as well as look at specific actions we took to ensure we demonstrated care and compassion for our 700 students.
Objectives:
- Apply Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to guide actions in online education.
- Explain the concept of caring and how it applies to online education.
- Create a personal plan to show diverse students we care.
