How do I create an online community in which all students feel a sense of belonging? How can I partner with my students to co-create the learning environment?

In this session, we will address these questions by reflecting on our teaching practices and considering five principles of inclusive teaching as they apply online. Participants will have an opportunity to collaborate with peers, share ideas, and leave with strategies to implement in their courses.
