After a year of online learning, students, faculty, and staff continue to face challenges that have had both positive and negative effects on mental health and well-being. In this workshop, students and faculty will participate in an interactive panel discussion to discuss and develop strategies aimed to alleviate some of the mental health challenges fueled by our current online learning environment. Attendees of the workshop will have 10-15 minutes at the end of the panel discussion to participate in an open conversation and ask questions of the panelists.

Groupwork in the classroom can be challenging in the best of times, particularly in the online classroom. This session will be a scholarly exploration of the concept of Team-Based Learning (TBL) and discuss how we can implement this practice into our online courses. The session will include a literature review on TBL, challenges & benefits, assessment strategies, suggestions on technology for faculty to further explore, and practical strategies faculty can utilize in their teaching practice.
