Creating Choice and Student Agency in the Online Classroom (L, E, S, CRTP)
Presentation
Permitting students to actively shape their learning and prioritizing student agency fosters a sense of ownership in their courses. Moreover, it allows students the opportunity to gain a deeper investment in their own education. For students to gain this agency in a course, substantive choices have to be provided by the instructor. These choices will guide what students learn as well as outline the steps they must take to get there. This can be taken a step further by allowing students to be part of the choice making process. One way these choices can be implemented in online courses is through the Release Conditions tool in D2L. This tool allows instructors to create a type of learning pathway that focuses on creating student choice and can be used to build student agencies throughout the learning process.
