Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants

This session will provide participants with an understanding of the value of role-play experiences for active and reflective learning as a component of online courses across disciplines. The process of developing a virtual role-play simulation that can be delivered synchronously will be explored. The participant will leave with an introductory ability to select a content area, create pre-work, construct the role-play, and develop post-role-play debriefing activities to be delivered in a virtual synchronous environment.

This session will help you turn your "boring old online class" into an action-packed quest with adventure around every turn! Ok, not quite, but it will show you how to use AI to make your class feel more like an adventure than an assignment for your students and open their minds to the exploratory nature of learning. You'll also see how integrating standards-based grading can help shift students' mindsets away from accumulating points and focus them on gaining skills.
