We know more about how people learn now more than ever; yet, educational approaches are often antithetical to what we know—especially for nontraditional students. We know that if students are bored or feel lonely, many physically cannot learn. However, we also know that when students experience novelty, are appropriately challenged, and have the ability to put competencies into action, the brain produces a lovely cocktail of ‘feel-good’ chemicals that also further enable learning to occur, while creating connections. Join us to learn about designing online courses for connection and competencies.
