I believe our brain must perceive our improvement, our increased ability to do something better, before it begins to feel confident. My role is to enable all my students to improve their learning and increase their cognitive stamina. My online courses are designed to strengthen learning muscles, so students can process content and produce data-driven conclusions. Through personal feedback, I reframe mistakes as a source of information about what needs adjusting in order to hit the target. I believe the educational system has conditioned students to be scared of mistakes because they think it says something about their intelligence. As a result, students may not push for the next level of mastery.  Therefore my presence, feedback and communication has to focus on what strategies students can level up your scholastic performance.

Our 8 week online course takes a traditional 16 week course and compresses it into 8 weeks. Therefore, 6.75(ish) hours per week shall be carved out from your weekly routine. Online classwork includes weekly video messages, online lectures, discussions, unit activities and guidance preparing for assessments via Canvas. Accessible (no cost) reading material, preparing for assignments and constructing unit assessments should be factored into your schedule. Yet using technology can enable us to stay focussed on work, family and school.  My goal is to eliminate failure in my courses. Therefore I dedicate most of my time nudging students via Canvas to stay on task.
