FLO Friday: Arts-Based Learning Online

*Note: This session has passed. Please view the recordings and resources below.

Did you know that arts-based learning can bring a human element to the disconnection some students feel in online-learning spaces? During this very interactive session, you will experience arts-based instructional strategies you can easily implement in your online courses. We will explore how to create inclusive spaces to engage learners’ minds, bodies, and spirits while supporting self-regulation in these overwhelming times.
