In this SBE Active Blended Learning newsletter we asked students for their perspective on our three pillars of ABL - Activate, Connect, and Empower. We spoke with bachelor students about their experiences with an activating role-play activity devised by SBE lecturers Yaser Al-Dhabyani and Michail Kokkoris to structure the Marketing 2 tutorials. The Student Assessor from the SEB board told us what helps students connect. The SBE academic advisors share simple things educators can do to support and empower students at this stressful time of year. They also shared that students sometimes feel unsure about how they should approach a teacher and gave practical advice on how to help them.
How can we effectively structure communication with students?
- Clearly communicate your availability and preferred methods of contact at the beginning of the course, and around assessments
- Encourage students to ask questions via these methods and reassure them that their inquiries are welcome.
- Creating a Canvas forum for general questions allows students to see previously asked and answered queries. You can refer students to this page when they come to you with general, non-sensitive questions.
