Workshop Description:
Scaffolding is a popular term in educational contexts; it is used widely to refer to structuring course material and assignments in a systematic and connected way to enhance course flow and student learning. While this description of scaffolding is informative, it is incomplete. In this workshop, Shahin M. Sarabi, ELL Specialist, and Mariela Giuliano, Educational Developer, will unpack the process of scaffolding as a learner-support and problem-solution approach. Examples will be provided to situate the theoretical concept of scaffolding, and strategies will be suggested on how to effectively scaffold your assignments and maximize student learning in online environments.
Co-Facilitators:
Shahin M. Sarabi, English Language Learning (ELL) Specialist, WLC
Mariela Giuliano, Educational Developer, FCDC
