Abstract: According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there has been a continued shift toward online enrollment for students in post-secondary education in recent years. Programs offering coursework in behavior analysis have been no exception. While online classes offer a variety of benefits for both instructors and students, they can also pose unique challenges over traditional face-to-face class meetings. Further, it is imperative that online students receive preparation of comparable quality to that of students enrolled in traditional courses in order to ensure the overall strength of our next generation of BCBAs. Unfortunately, many instructors struggle to find resources for navigating these challenges effectively and literature in the area of online instruction within higher education remains somewhat limited. All panelists currently serve as online program faculty and will accept audience questions related to such topics as online course structure, designing online assignments, promoting academic integrity, leveraging the benefits of online instruction, and facilitating meaningful experiences and interactions for students.
Instruction Level: Advanced
