60-Minute Recording of Audio Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast March 26, 2009 • $199

In a traditional classroom, you have to keep students from staring out the window.

In an online classroom, you have to keep them from jumping into the pool.

Keeping online students engaged is a whole different ballgame. They’re inundated with external distractions. The beach beckons … the mall calls … the Xbox entices. Not only that, they don’t experience the social and “entertainment” elements of a live classroom … elements that reinforce their sense of involvement in a learning community.

So disengagement becomes a real issue. How do you prevent it? How do you keep online students from mentally “checking out,” and surrendering their energy and interest to passivity and apathy?

Start by ordering this program on CD. For one hour, we’ll present a new online seminar, Increasing Cognitive Engagement in the Classroom, full of ideas for keeping your students engaged and involved.

Led by Dr. B. Jean Mandernach of Park University, this idea-filled presentation helps you create an environment where students feel motivated to invest themselves fully in the learning process. You’ll discover:
• Methods of engaging online students efficiently and effectively.
• Empirically supported instructional strategies to increase students’ interest.
• Ways to modify instructional approaches to be more active and authentic.
• Low- (or no-) cost strategies that foster a personal connection with students.
• Approaches for addressing the cognitive barriers associated with online learning.
• And much more.
