Thank you all for participating in the 2nd Demystifying the Student Perspective event! It was a great 3 days of discussion ending with an online student panel.

We have created a summary about the student panel discussion here:

If you have any feedback for us please let us know as we want to continually improve these events!

Please post the questions that you want the student panel to answer on Friday's Elluminate discussion!

Example:

  • Does feedback through in online class evaluations improve teaching?
  • How do educators accommodate students with different learning habits? 
  • What tools will help teachers engage students?
  • What changes can be done to the way online courses are administered? 

SFU has definitely changed in the last few years to try to foster student engagement on campus. http://www.sfu.ca/engage.html

Also a few courses in the SFU Surrey Campus are very interactive and more project-based compared to the standard lecture styles. Things are surely changing!

Welcome to our 3 day interactive discussion on the online environment and education technology from a students perspective. We have a great line up of 3 Undergraduate students from Simon Fraser University to share their experiences.
