Serving learners who are developing literacy in both their native language, English, as well as the digital world, presents unique challenges. Virtual learning has advanced a great deal in recent years, but too often, literacy-level learners don’t receive these services because of the challenges associated with teaching them online. This interactive workshop will equip you with concrete, imaginative strategies to reach and teach these students successfully in a virtual environment.
- Any instructor, curriculum developer, or staff member whose work includes connecting with literacy-level learners in an online environment
