Lorry-Ann Austin has been teaching in person since 2013 and in alternate delivery modes of delivery since March 2020. She prioritizes relational approaches to teaching and seeks to build community among learners, whether on campus or virtually. Lorry-Ann strongly believes learners have the most success when they are able to collaborate with peers and faculty in social contexts. In this CELTalk, Lorry-Ann shares some of the strategies she developed to increase presence and build community in both synchronous and asynchronous ways during the pandemic. Her presentation will be followed by a larger discussion about how strategies might work in participants’ own contexts.
