The dynamics of teaching online are obviously different than working in an on-campus session. It is sometimes difficult to engage students to participate in the classroom dialogues. In this webinar, we will review ideas and approaches to create the opportunities for students to speak and dialogue. We will dialogue about practices used that have been successful in fostering interaction.

Dr. Jones is best described as a human resource development leader who applies organizational development practice and organizational communication theory to deliver results for organizations. He has worked to transform organizations to improve performance and productivity. As a college faculty, Dr. Jones has learned the importance of student engagement with the course topic and content. To facilitate this engagement, he seeks to inspire and challenge students to apply the concepts covered in his courses. My goal is to bring to students a “real world” practitioner’s perspective supported by leading-edge research. Students can expect to apply theory to practice and identify new ways to use best-practice concepts. In my classes, students dialogue, work in teams, present, and sometimes debate concepts with the goal of learning ways to enable optimum organizational performance.
