(Webinar) Grit…hardiness…determination…persistence: we know it by many names. Resilience is a key life success trait that can spell the distinction in the success or failure of learning experiences for students. The online classroom is characterized by some unique challenges regarding student resilience. These challenges, as well as prospective strategies to overcome them, will be specifically discussed in the areas of technology, communication and student assessment. The individual focus will be given to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on mandated all-online instruction and its impacts on the resilience of students, many of whom were suddenly required to adapt to online learning. Understanding the factors that facilitate the development of online student resilience will enable instructors to create maximally effective learning experiences for their students.
