Humanizing is a student-centered mindset that involves recognizing and supporting the non-cognitive components of learning. Humanizing integrates elements of Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning and Universal Design for Learning and focuses on presence, empathy, and awareness.

Digital Learning and faculty experts explore this concept through a new series: "Humanizing Digital Learning," which will utilize relevant literature, pedagogical practices, as well as tips and tricks to help prepare you to design an engaging online course.

Join the conversation and actively build course materials for your upcoming courses. We hope you find these courses meaningful and transformative in your online teaching practice. While the courses focus on strategies for designing and facilitating humanized and connected online learning communities, we hope its content inspires your teaching in all modalities, not just online. Limited space available.

Humanizing online resources are available on the Humanizing Online page of the Keep Teaching website.
