Free Webinar: Wellness That Works: Evidence-Based Practices to Support Online Learners
Sponsored by the Online Learning Consortium
The shift to online learning has intensified student wellness challenges, with research showing increased rates of anxiety, isolation, and burnout among remote learners. As educators and designers, we have a unique opportunity to embed wellness practices directly into our course delivery, creating more supportive and effective learning environments.
This interactive session will equip participants with immediately applicable wellness strategies and practices across all 8 dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and financial. Each dimension will be paired with quick, evidence-based exercises specifically designed for online implementation. Participants will actively experience select wellness techniques during the session, modeling how these can be seamlessly integrated into both synchronous classes and asynchronous modules.
Key Takeaways
- Quick techniques adaptable to any online course
- 8+ ready to implement exercises requiring minimal class time (2-5 minutes each)
- Strategies for both real-time and self-paced learning environments
- Evidence based approaches to improving student engagement and retention through wellness
