Empathy by Design: Intentional Integration into the Structure of Your Online Course
Empathy by Design: Intentional Integration into the Structure of Your Online Course
Humanizing a course or practicing empathy is not limited to instructional strategies in the in-person classroom. Change the perception of online teachers from distant and uncaring to present and empathetic. But how? Humanizing an online course involves applying empathy in both instructor presence and course design. Integrate policies, procedures, and practices that promote and embody empathy and support students and their success. Based in Pacansky Brock’s framework (2013), intentionally selected instructional and design strategies both have capacity to increase empathy and humanize the online course experience.
