Potency (Student Engagement in a Virtual Setting Series)

A session in the series: Student Engagement in a Virtual Setting

The purpose of this webinar is to provide practical strategies to use with students in virtual programs to build relationships and increase student engagement. 

Giving students control over their outcomes fosters autonomy, intrinsic motivation, personalized learning, self-regulation skills, preparation for real life, responsibility, critical thinking, problem solving and positive self-efficacy- all of which are essential for their academic and personal development.
