Dr. Barbara Johnson, Indiana University—Purdue University Indianapolis
Keeping the learner as the focus of the mathematics classroom becomes more challenging when the “classroom” is spread over space and sometimes time. This session provides suggestions for helping online students become motivated, confident learners and users of mathematics. Topics include supporting student understanding of themselves as learners, developing mathematics study skills, orienting students toward a growth mindset, promoting student-directed learning, and encouraging mathematics learning communities.
