Abstract
The purpose of this best practices session is to describe numerous methodologies employed by an online psychology program to enhance learner engagement outside of the courseroom. This talk will provide an overview of the Psychology learner connectedness program that is offered every term, include discipline-focused Webinars, Success Labs, a Psychology Club, independent research opportunities, and more. Attendees will learn about the challenges and successes of developing a “student activities” model in an online environment and leave with key takeaways that will assist them in the development of their own online model, which can be utilized for secondary and post-secondary learners who attend on the ground or online educational institutions.
