Proposal Abstract
Note: This presentation is limited to 15 participants. Designing our online classroom is more than just putting content online or showing up on Zoom as scheduled. The inequities across British Columbia that inhibit success with online learning may affect learners anywhere at any time. In this talking circle, we will use prompts to navigate what inequities our learners may face, and how we can create holistic-centered online learning environments that support our learners. Bring your ideas for this participatory session.
