ASC Teaching Forum – Transparency and Metacognition in Online Courses

The College of Arts and Sciences Office of Distance Education will host a teaching forum to discuss integrating transparency and metacognitive practices in online course design and delivery. Metacognition refers to processes used to plan, monitor, and assess one’s own understanding and performance. Research asserts transparent course design that includes pathways to metacognitive reflection on time management, study habits, and content mastery supports student learning and future success.

A panel of ASC faculty instructors and staff experts from the ASC Office of Distance Education and the Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning will share their experiences implementing course design plans that combine transparency of expectations and a framework for student metacognitive reflection.
