Humanizing Showcases

Ten cohorts of the Humanizing Online STEM Academy have been grant-funded by the California Education Learning Lab. Throughout the six weeks of the Academy, participants complete assignments that provide them with hands-on experience creating psychologically inclusive digital content. They are supported by “warm demander” facilitators who hold participants to high expectations while building rapport and providing the flexibility needed for each person’s unique situation.

For their final project, participants curate their eight Humanizing Elements into a public website or “showcase.” The showcases contain links, screenshots, and video tours of the elements contextualized within the participant’s humanized online course. The participants share their showcase with a Creative Commons-Attribution-NonCommercial (CC-BY-NC) license to intentionally encourage the spread of unique approaches and adoption of humanized online teaching.

Below is a list of the Academy participant showcases by cohort. Enjoy!
