Teachers’ Lounge: Cognitive Overload in the Online Class (For Graduate Students)

Teachers’ Lounges are a series of informal discussions for graduate students about teaching practices and the culture of learning at Columbia. Since many classes have shifted online this semester, Teachers’ Lounges are linking theories and models of online instruction to insights derived from working in digital learning spaces with Columbia students.

In this session, we will consider the often competing demands on attention when learning in the online environment, and discuss their impact on retention and understanding. What can instructors do to focus and pace the attention of their students while interacting with them in digital spaces? How can supplemental or asynchronous materials help? Join us to share tactics and gain inspiration. Please register here.
