Whether it’s in your online classroom, within your college, or for your career — we need community more than ever. The pandemic broke open traditional means and modalities for connection — whether it was through Facetime, Zoom, Discord or Twitter. While many campus technologies were activated nearly overnight due to a global crisis response, we now must take these lessons to creating meaningful and engaging community building strategies for our students, but also for ourselves as online learning educators.

Using a purposeful digital engagement model and historical understanding of digital community tools, this keynote will call you into the title of community builder.
