Facilitation Strategies for the Asynchronous, Low Socioeconomic Online Learner

lunes, el 27 de octubre de 2014 a las 13:30–14:15 PDT
Concurrent Session 2
Session Description

This session will demonstrate facilitation strategies that shed light on low socioeconomic adult learners in an asynchronous, online learning environment. The discussion will be grounded in the self determination theory, focusing on the three basic psychological needs (e.g., autonomy, relatedness, competence). The findings from each department who work directly with this student group provide a holistic perspective to the needs of these students, all which potentially cause a disruption to their learning. This session will begin to close the current gap in research on this emerging student demographic.
