Creating an Online Community: Student Led Peer Support Networks

• In Event: OTP- Creating an Online Community: Student Led Peer Support Networks

Short Description

A completely online, asynchronous doctoral program can bring additional challenges for students feeling disconnected and needing additional support. Cohorts who are progressing through the program in alignment with others can provide additional support that students may not get outside of the program. Attendees will gain insight on how to better engage and support doctoral students in a fully online asynchronous program using technology to improve engagement and build an online community.
