\"Prof.<\/a>By Emily Cook, TLS staff writer <\/em><\/p>\n

When exploring the possibility of online learning, some people are concerned that the online environment lacks the social interaction and engaging atmosphere of a classroom experience. But professor Anne Tr\u00e9panier is proving that online courses can be engaging, interactive and hands on.<\/p>\n

Tr\u00e9panier began teaching in Carleton\u2019s School of Canadian Studies in 2010. After bringing her lectures online, she was recognized with a 2015 Carleton University Teaching with Technology Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tr\u00e9panier says that while the format of her lectures changed, she wanted the course message to stay the same, and for the environment to be stimulating with group work, research and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the regular thing one would expect from an online course,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key challenge for me was to be able to create a safe space for the students to grow their ability to think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camtasia and cuLearn are among the different types of technology Tr\u00e9panier says she uses to make her courses interactive, along with incorporating documentaries, interviews with professionals and virtual museums.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted [students] to be able to interact deeply with the material, so not just having superficial use of information,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

According to Tr\u00e9panier, an important component of online teaching is to be organized with each lesson so students know how to succeed. She says she\u2019s also found it helpful to reward students with marks for logging in and completing reviews and quizzes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe repetitive, simple, well-organized lesson format permits learner-centered teaching,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

In her courses, Tr\u00e9panier says she provides three types of feedback: personal, group and automated. Automated responses are programmed for quizzes to provide students with resources to find answers to questions they got wrong.<\/p>\n

Tr\u00e9panier also has students participate in online group research. She has students search for scholarly sources and once they\u2019ve made their submissions with an explanation, they can see contributions from the rest of the class.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a mini Google from the class, and it helps for the upcoming essays,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

For professors considering online teaching, Tr\u00e9panier says that in addition to the time it takes to prepare the course, support from your department and a good relationship with an instructional designer are key. Tr\u00e9panier says the designer makes the ideas a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to be tech savvy, but you need to be responsive and listen to the designer,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Despite the hurdles, Tr\u00e9panier says there\u2019s a lot of potential for online teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of freedom online,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m more of a guide, I\u2019d say, then just someone who delivers information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
