MCC will host the Instructional Technology Council’s professional development audioconference entitled “Effective Communication in Online Education” on Tuesday, January 12, from 2:00-3:00PM in room 3-115. The presenter is Kristen Betts, Associate Clinical Professor, School of Education, Drexel University.
As higher education institutions offer increasing numbers of online and blended programs, it is important that administrators integrate communication theory and methods into training and professional development for online faculty. Kristen Betts will provide a comparative overview of communication research as it relates to online education. She will offer recommendations for integrating effective online communication into programming and instruction to increase student connectivity, engagement, and retention. She will share faculty and student data/feedback collected from Drexel University’s online Master of Science in Higher Education Program to highlight the importance of effective communication in online education.
