Brief Abstract
This workshop stems from evidence, and then shares first-hand strategies, real-life screenshots, and metrics of several online course humanization makeovers. Once examining the before and after of such examples, participants will be guided through a discovery session to borrow or innovate their own course humanization opportunities.

Extended Abstract
Student engagement influences student success, course completion, and instructor ratings. Most online course shells, however, do not come pre-built with the humanization elements that lead to a community of successful and willingly engaged course graduates. The days of expecting students to complete detailed reading and watch talking head videos are gone, as such strategies fall short of both active humanized-engagement, and course completion goals.
This workshop stems from evidence, and then shares first-hand strategies, real-life screenshots, and metrics of several online course humanization makeovers. Once examining the before and after of such examples, participants will be guided through a discovery session to borrow or innovate their own course humanization opportunities.
Note: Having an online course is not a prerequisite to attend, as both those with experience and those without online teaching or course development experience will benefit from this session.
