SUMMARY:5 Tips to help Increase Student Morale in a time of Remote Learning
DESCRIPTION:Look…this pandemic has been hard on all of us. Each of us battling our own unique challenges; and\, after 11 months\, it’s no wonder that we’re all exhausted by our “new normal”. Students are no different\, and for many\, morale is low. \n  \nNo surprise to many of us\, EdWeek is reporting that more than 50% of students and 75% of instructors within a remote-learning environment have lower morale than before the pandemic. The U.K. Office of National Statistics reported that more than half of the students surveyed identified that their well-being and mental health has worsened these past 11 months. And\, according to a report by The Jed Foundation\, 63% of students say their mental health is worse since the start of the pandemic. No surprise\, student morale is low. \n  \nIn this session\, we will hone in on five (5) tips to help increase student morale within the online learning environment\, and how sometimes those simple changes can make all the difference. Please also bring your thinking-caps because we will open the floor for the opportunity to share conversations and our own experiences in making the remote learning environment better for students. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar | Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey - Persist  (Educause)
DESCRIPTION:n response to the dialogue across EDUCAUSE community groups and within our personal lives\, a small group of community leaders have developed the Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey (ARiA) series.

Come join us for the kickoff webinar\, and sign-up for a breakout discussion. \nOutcomes\nWe want to enable participants to get the most out of their learning journey. We designed the ARiA framework to accomplish three main goals: \n\nCreate safe spaces to explore\, share\, and learn.\nPromote personal and professional growth through expanded awareness and expanded understanding of different racial perspectives.\nEmpower participants to foster a more inclusive and understanding higher ed community with expanded ideas\, perspectives\, and strategies.\n\nSpeakers:  Tonya Bennett | Director of Educational Technology @PennVet\, University of Pennsylvania\, Jonathan B.
